[quote=Pepe][quote=Blutarski]Having been through it, I don't think there is anything we did in club soccer that matched winning a state HS championship. And obviously it wasn't the quality of the soccer, it was the quality of the experience of doing it with her friends, for her school. For kids playing ECNL, state championships aren't even in play, but I would put the HS championship above a champions league win in ECNL as well.

Asked my DD this question and ECNL championship was beyond a doubt #1. HS is just something to do between end of ECNL season and ECNL playoffs. Yep, they play with friends, but again, it's about 1 level above playing in the park with friends, but you get refs. Playing in front of 80+ college coaches/scouts at every ECNL showcase/playoff game is much more exciting. Winning vs another highly 'ranked' club, also way more rewarding. Most of our excellent club girls don't play high school because unfortunately their HS is so bad, they'll end up being the runaway star and likely hurt themselves. HS is very "FUN", but competative, not even close. If DII-DI college is your bet, ECNL will provide you with a much better path than just HS.

To the question though: HS over state cup (which is not ECNL). It could be said if you have all your friends on the club team, then state cup would do the trick, but HS is just fun fun fun.[/quote]
