re: Any high school soccer coaches here? Advice needed

Not sure how it works in LA, but in TX my friends and I finally got our school to start a soccer program my senior year. It took three years of going to school board meetings with a number of students who were willing to play.

We were a very succesful football and baseball school and soccer just was going to take away from the funding of those. We got turf though my junior year and that propelled it.

For the program's first two years we could only play friendlies. I saw this year though, our girls team got 3-4 rounds deep in the playoffs, not sure about the guys. It was fun playing 6-7 games my senior year for my school though, I'll never regret sitting through what felt like 75 school board meetings.
