Originally posted by Unregistered View PostHogwash. Most club players on my kid's team very rarely showed up at the captains practices and all will start every game (as they should since they're rock stars compared to most of the others on the team). Those kids play high level soccer 10 months out of the year, don't benefit from going to the captains practice, and need the break away from soccer during the summer. My son was the exception but continually complained the unorganized chaos that ensued at those practices was a waste of his time. I trust his word since he has played in club since u-little.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIf players think there are no consequences then they'll walk over the coach. He's setting a poor example of commitment and the message that studs can do what they want, screw the others who show up all the time. It's not how you manage a successful team

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIf whipping the messenger makes you happy then whatever, but forcing a kid to attend crappy workouts rather than making great off-season workouts to attract players is the catch for me. If the workouts had any merit, everyone would go, but they do not, so stop pretending they are the greatest thing since sliced bread and stop trying to force kids to attend (.... OR ELSE!) ..... now you know why your kids HS team plays such terrible soccer.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYour coach is to blame for not insuring better quality workouts. Hire a coach as another said. At a minimum talk to the captains and give them a curiculum. If the better players aren't showing up then the weaker players aren't benefiting. is a team, not just about what's good for your kid.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt's high school soccer. Everyone makes the team. The kids that did not make the town team a few years back are back to being soccer players again. There is little in the way of tactics unless you count booting it when it comes to your foot a tactic. The coach teaches math by day and then shows up at the field after school to pull in a little additional salary. It is not soccer that anyone takes real seriously.
"It is not soccer that anyone takes real seriously"
Except the student athletes that participate. Maybe it isn't about you . It never was. I know that may be tough to take.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIts all about the kids who stated getting cut from the town teams a few years back and now are on the 'big boys squad'. Everyone else sees it for what it is including players and parents. I could care less until club time gets here as I rarely can make it out to see mid afternoon games.
