physically and the only thing that matters is being fresh and healthy for the 3 week playoff run
Also as you know when you have the elite talent those girls are playing 10 month ECNL seasons, doing college ID clinics/camps, doing national ID camps or showcases, and likely training 3-5x a week with their soccer trainers in addition to their 2-3 days a week with their strength/speed coaches.
So they maaaybe take 1-2 weeks off a year or one week before HS even starts.
If it were me I wouldnt play them more than half a game during the regular season for that reason… and also to minimize injury risk for those that have a lot to risk for pretty meaningless games. I’m surprised a girl like Devey even plays HS.
