1-A soccer has changed a bit this year. I hope to see Dixie gain a little attention now that they have beaten the #2 and #4 ranked teams. Buford has developed a strong squad, moving up to #3. 1A soccer is a different animal than the 3As and 4As. 1A schools are 1A schools because of their population. Therefore, they are not generally located near populated areas where club soccer flourishes. I believe, for the most part, that club soccer provides the most instruction/training for the player since it involves the majority of the year and generally has the better qualified coaches/trainers. No ugly emails here - there are exceptions. I applaud those schools that have strong soccer programs in rural settings, it is more evident that the school/player/coach is committed to the sport.
