E124: Iowa High School Soccer Coaches’ Round Table

Spring isn’t quite here, but high school soccer is just around the corner and we are fired up for it! You know who else is fired up for it? The coaches. When we put it out there to see who wanted to join us for a conversation about the upcoming season, there was such an excellent response that we had to hold two separate rounds of interviews. With input from 1A, 2A and 3A boys and girls coaches, this provides an insightful glimpse into high school soccer - of course we’ll get some team and player previews, but we’ll also discuss topics like the new rankings system, the new open enrollment/transfer rules and the state tournament.
