Genuine question...is anyone actually scouted through high school soccer?  Are there even talented players only doing high school soccer and not club as well?[/quote]

Teh most talented kids do not play HS - they dont want to get hurt by some field hockey kid from another team trying outside back for the first time.

This is absolutely not true. I would bet 90+% of ECNL boys play and 75% of MLS Next kids. Some DC United players risk repercussions and play against their coaches instructions. They all LOVE playing HS.[/quote]

Calling BS on this [/quote]

I don’t know if they LOVE it. But being Varsity Captain, MVP, all Met, all state, maybe even Gatorade player of the year etc is very impressive to college coaches. High school is the only path to those accolades.[/quote]

Add a state championship to this list and you have not just a D1 player, but P4.[/quote]

Nope. I call BS.  I know a few players with Gatorade POY to their names and state champs etc.   If you didn't get seen in club - you will not be P4. Not if HS is your only experience.

Correct. You need both.[/quote]
You only need club soccer.

HS BS doesn't matter.[/quote]

But the recruiting forms ask for the HS Coach.[/quote]

My kid left it blank. He’s playing D1.  They are recruiting at showcases - nobody cares about some form that thousands of kids fill out anyway.  It’s there because some kids will only have HS. It doesn’t mean they care. [/quote]
