The reality is, at the high school level, SOME teams:
1) Include inexperienced "athletes" to fill out sides and rosters;
2) Are coached/trained by well-intentioned, but inexperienced, less-competent folks; and
3) Are (occasionally inappropriately) supported by parents who know little about competitive sports, much less soccer.
Throw in shaky officials working crosstown rivalries, and you have a potential problem.

If what you say is true, which I believe it is, that will explain why so many HS matches get chippy.

Also remember that HS soccer is 9th-12th grade. When a senior bumps into another senior, you might not see much. Shoulder-shoulder senior vs freshman or sophomore? Most likely you'll see a different more violent result.

Can't say that I agree with this. When my daughter was playing as a senior she got bowled over a few times by freshmen and sophomores who were nearly twice her size.

Coaching, coaching , coaching. If the coach has the respect of his players and is involved in the game he can limit any situation from exculating in club or high school.Ours yanks any player who gets away from why they are out there. Win the ball and help the team score. You can tell when two players have had enough of each other. Switch em up or sit em down. Do nothing and the incident of 2011 starts again.

A couple of yellows, which is about what I've seen in high school.
Are you of the belief Club does not get Chippy?
We had "wars" versus Bridge for years. Games versus Boca and Ponte Vedra also very physical and a bit "chippy".
Also Columbia United...
