But I would be surprised if you find any of the D1 players missing games next week. The players/families in D1 have made more of a commitment to the sport than most of the players in the lower divisions. The coaches in this level also expect more from their teams as far as commitments go.
I think every family needs to do whats right for themselves - no other excuses should be made. LHGCL information has always read that there will be games during spring break and they will not except requests off during that time.

I'm afraid I just lost a little respect for you... nothing is "right" about what Rasta posts... as far as I'm concerned he's an elitist, inflammatory jerk, and not a very well spoken one at that. Whether he believes what he says or is just "stirring the pot" is irrelevant...

While some D1 players may be more committed than those in other divisions, I assure you there are some who are not. A commitment to attending games over spring break, and a 'desire' to be able to vacation over spring break, are not mutually exclusive.

I keep telling you D111/D11 people to save your Money. The Nerve to say last year PPL (did you forget this is LHGCL and NOT PPL!!!!) Play big time Soccer and you will get a chance to go to Disney and play Soccer the same week.

My bad, I didn't see the filter that only allowed D1 parents on the forum. This is TXSOCCER, you could even be a rec soccer parent and post on here. Wait, Rasta, you seem to talk about rec soccer a lot, I'm guessing your DD just plays rec. That must be how you get time to go smoke in the hills.

No, not a rec parent... just a jerk.
