As to the turf, our Ag teacher has done a helluva job on our field. It got killed last year from soccer (girls & boys) and the last game last year was like playing in a swamp it rained so hard. That was bad, but our soccer coach's refusal to even practice somewhere other than the field is what is really destroying it. It's no surprise that he also refuses to do any upkeep work and/or contribute a dime to upkeep from his budget. Just reason 9874923197 of why I hate soccer. But our guy has it looking really good along with NY mowing it 3 times/week. UT should give them a call.
My high school coach had that fight with the soccer coach in high school, it ended with "this is an American football field"
As it should. Want to play soccer? Leave the US. I could get behind a Trump presidency if he promised to add soccer to his deportation list.
Times they are a changin'. That said, all the coaches should work together to maintain the field. Practicing 5 days a week, playing on it on Saturday's or whenever, rain or shine, is stupid. Yeah, soccer might not have 300 pound bulls smashing each other in the trenches, but it doesn't matter. You can tear up that grass even at 150 pounds and just running around on it.
Ha The high school soccer coach was a [penis] that coached to stare at under aged girls in short shorts. He didn’t get along with anyone
I read from folks who saw it. But look at how the grass comes up roots and all in August. It will be clods by November
Compaction creates bare spots. A lot of compaction practicing set pieces near the box. Gotta mix up where you practice. Games don't hurt much, practice does as much as football
My high school was located on Magnolia Ave, so yeah, but not really. The field was the only thing we had that was our own.
We did have a practice field behind the school that was shared with the football team in the spring. The details keep getting cooler.
Nothing worse than end of the season practices as a goal keeper. If it rains, you're basically wallowing in the 6 yard box.
