I guess you don't have kids that play school sports yet. This person is right on the money. The school sports are hard to watch at times. When you are used to watching the game played at a D1 or premier level the speed and level of talent in the school game doesn't compare. All the coaches know is pick the fastest kids and play kick and run. The club coaches and trainers have to deprogram the kids and break them of all the bad habits they pick up during school season.

With all the money you have spent so far on 'training' the kids should be doing the right thing out of habit by now, therefore no needing to be deprogramed by club coaches and trainers. Please don't give club coaches more credit than they deserve, many of them are parallel to school coaches. Most players have been overcoached and smothered by club coaches to the point where they don't think for themselves only react to what they are being told to do. Let them play!

I don't know you so I can not say why you have the opinions you do (Lack of knowledge, lack of experience etc) but I will respectfully disagree. When schools take almost, if not everyone that shows up the players that do know what to do usually become very frustrated with those around them and do NOT play the way they were taught/know how to or they are told not to. Your opinion that many of the club coaches are parallel with the school coaches depends on what level club coaches you are referencing. MOST school coaches have no clue at all so if you are comparing D1 & D2 coaches, again I would have to disagree. D3 and down, you would probably be correct. HHH West is THE perfect example for those that don't know. That Coach was handed an unbelieveable concentration of talent, possibly the highest concentration of talent in a HS in a long long time. His brother happens to be a greaat trainer imo but this HS coach insisted his team play straight kick and run. When his players, from Nationally rank teams, NERP teams, D1 teams tried to pass/posses the ball as they all knew was correct, he would scream at them to "Stop that BS club possession crap. We don't play that crap here" Really ? School coaches THINK they are awesome. Club coaches don't get ENOUGH credit because they sure as heck aren't taught by the school coaches which many are handed the keys to a Porsche and total the car. Only a handful of HS play good soccer, the rest are seriously painful to watch. These are not opinions, they are facts (1 was an opinion)

Ok, you're right
