'You are no more a coach than a politician is honest. HS is about winning, that is it. Older players are mature and better players than same age . Of course occasionally there are exceptions. Not talking about them. The majority of MIAA are older players which is where the best go to play. Yes, if we lived in a fair world everyone would be on age, it isnt. I will take holdbacks each year and get more the next. At HS level having a team of college Freshman age is giving you an edge or at least competing against the ones that have the same.'
100% correct. It is not cheating, it is a fact of life. It is not just a MD thing either. It is all around the country, including "The Island". Nothing anyone can do about it unless a relevant governing body is created that implements programs like U.S. Soccer. |
