Just Wondering?

Should HS Soccer Teams be required to have photo id's for players like Club Teams? 

[Jsmity]

hmmm.... well they should.... but you might find that alot of schools might not have the kind of numbers afterwards...

Only if every other player in every other UIL event (not just sport) had to show one before a game or contest.

Soccer gets scrutinized enough as it is by the suits in Austin.  No other sport has suspension rules like soccer does for its yellow and red card count.  Can you imagine the uproar from the basketball coaches if there was a proposal to suspend a player if he had fouled out of three contests throughout the season.

hmmm.... well they should.... but you might find that alot of schools might not have the kind of numbers afterwards...

;D  That's wrong!  Just plain wrong!    ;D

[ballhogz]

it might not be a a bad idea in general...

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that was the funniest thing i've heard in a long time... And I know exactly what your talking about Smity, happened against us this past season...

[Jsmity]

i plead the 5th ;D

[bullets13]

i do know this... i graduated in 2001, and in 2003 went back to watch a game. the ref, who had officiated me dozens of times during my high school career, was surprised when he saw me in street clothes, and asked why i wasn't playing.  it would have been pretty easy to cheat, had i and the coach wanted to.  i also know when we played some houston schools in tourneys there were foreign born players who looked like they might be 30.  i think this would be a good idea, because it wouldn't affect the game in a negative way.  it would, however, ensure fairness in competition.

No doubt there are players on some of the Houston Teams who luck 20-30.

I'm not sure that having ID cards would really help.

[SEsoccerplayer]

Yeah I think that they would be an improvement, but for UIL to make at least 1,000 ID's, doesn't sound like something that they would do unless there was a huge surge in the number of atheletes who were illegally playing soccer for a highschool, or there was the switch of uniforms in the state tournament. Because that is the only way it would get recognitition and the need for those cards realized.

I believe there was a problem with this several years back at Central???... correct me if im wrong....

took the words right out of my mouth... i was thinking the same thing only this past year...  idk

[Bon_Mot]

I don't think it was a problem so much this past year, but whoever the coach was before Coach Cox got there did some dubious things but never got caught.  The coach previous to Coach Morgan at Memorial did get caught doing this however.

[Jsmity]

oh duh... how could i forget about that one.... that happened against us.... which was pretty stupid considering that the player that played wrongfully used to play club with kids on our high school squad
