Message: [QUOTE="jordville, post: 5100398, member: 3388"] It is even worse in the southeast/south in terms of other sports being played in the same season as soccer. Here in Georgia, soccer is a spring sport along with lacrosse, baseball, and track (also golf & tennis)! Football is king and basically alone (competes with cross county) in the fall, so no top athletes will be missed. It has been that in the 22 years I've been in GA. We actually have some really high level soccer in the metro Atlanta area because of the club side and so many players that only play soccer. That is another unfortunate thing that was a change for me since I moved here-- multi sport athletes are few and far between. So many are focused on their one sport... and I've seen many that get burnt out of their sport and eventually stop playing. [/QUOTE]
