Soccer time in the South

[Welpe]

It seems to me that most of the club and competitive USSF sanctioned soccer is played in the fall season. Is that an accurate assessment or does it depend upon the area?

In my area is it summer into fall.

In Ohio, State Cup is played in the Spring (Regionals in the early Summer). U-15s and up play Club in the Spring only in Ohio. The HS season runs in the Fall and you cannot play OHSAA and non-OHSAA in the same season.

In TN we have a split club season. Since HS has Girls in the fall and Boys in the spring the u14->u18 club season is just the opposite, Boys in the fall and Girls in the spring.

That's the way it is in my area as well. It seems that we have similar issues with weather.

My first HS girls games begin in about 5 weeks. I have a full schedule. Some really great games and a couple I don't now why they even bother to schedule. They will be one sided massacres.
I sure hope that it is warmer and drier this spring than last. I froze nearly all season and it was wet most of the time. I am going to try the full leg compression gear this spring on cold days. With the knee braces and socks the ony thing that will look different is the little hole in the middle of the knee braces.
