I disagree- our school team had all premier players in their starting line-up AND competed against many schools with all premier players in their line-up. (which happend to be many of the girls team mates). East Islip has the #1 player in the Nation on their school team and she does not turn her nose up at school ball.

Opinions of HS Soccer will always vary greatly (as a previous poster said, due to varied perspectives...not because someone is right or someone is wrong). While I've felt that school ball was a waste of time in the beginning (7th/8th grade teams of 30-40) my opinion changed dramatically as my daughter was a JV Capt. in 8th & was a starting Varsity player in 9th (small but competitive HS program). She has been a Premier & Select ODP level player since U12, following her own love of soccer & desire for competitive challenge.

That all being said, the timeless value of her HS Soccer experience will not be measured by the technical execution or quality of every goal or save in the games. She always brings her own individual level of play to the party, as do her classmates...and fortunately her HS Coaches are of the experienced & dedicated breed that know the game well enough to coach it. She absolutely loves the times she is sharing with her school squad! She totally gets that not every teammate or opponent is a College bound soccer player. She knows that not every goal or save or pass is going to be a 'beautiful' one, nor does it have to be! That IS the beauty of HS Soccer. The fact that her team was successful enough to get deep into their playoff bracket was completely appreciated by all! No need to pick apart the pros & cons of mixed abilities or level of play. This is about the memories the can only get by wearing those school colors with friends they've grown up with and playing a sport in front of their home town spectators! It's that simple. Wins, losses, ties, bus rides, team dinners & gatherings, wearing the jerseys in school on game days, being part of a group of classmates with a common purpose...these are moments all of the girls will own for a liftime!

ABSOLUTELY!! Couldn't agree more! High school ball moments are memories these girls will remember long after their college days are over once they have hung up their cleats for good. Those who disagree are missing the entire point.

When do the All-Long Island and All-State selections get released?

All Long Island picks have already been selected and photos will be taken this week for publication sometime next week.
All State should follow shortly thereafter.

You have taken fiction and inserted it with some facts whoever you are. Without going into detail, you list players on the first team that are not part of the selection and you list players on third and fourth teams that will be on the first team.
How foolish will you feel when you compare this bogus list with what in fact will be memorialized in Newsday in the next week.
