Looking to watch a few full 1970's-1980's high school soccer games, but I have only been able to find a handful of "full games" uploaded on YouTube. Most videos seem to cover "highlights" of games, or they are very short, edited down versions. I'm not sure if there are more games uploaded, or maybe I just haven't found them. If this is the case, I sure could use a bit of help finding those "hard to find" videos hidden in YouTube's archive ( or any video hosting site such as Vimeo, Smug mug, Etc ).
That's going to be a tough task as typically back then it was parents doing the recordings. Most of the videos are probably buried away or in a attack somewhere. I would reach out to schools you are interested in, and see if they can help you. I'm sure there are some Forums as where elsewhere where perhaps you could find more people looking for the same thing. Good luck.
Thanks Kai, It seems that YouTube is full of High School football games ( full, entire games ), but little in the way of soccer. I can not understand that, as soccer was extremely popular at least up till 1990, before it fell off. I hear you about them being home movies... Until a few years back, I was able to watch quite a few 1980s High school soccer games over at Plattsburgh New York Regional Videos ( site no longer available ).
