[quote=Anonymous]The simple answer is that no high school, public or private, is going to have any substantive impact on player skill development to support a kid playing in college.  Can’t happen.  Why?  The season is too short.  There is zero time to work on skill development.  It is really just a pickup game with uniforms.

But - I am still a fan of high school soccer.  It can be fun, and it can provide some different things that you don’t get in club.  Leadership opportunities being number one.  Because of how high school sports work team captains actually have some things to do.  And, my daughter actually was recruited out of high school.  College coaches all firmly believe they know talent/ability when they see it.  Your kid does not have to be playing at Disney.  But, they do have to have years of club under the belt to get to that level.

My daughters senior year 7 of the starters on the high school team went on to play in college.  But, they had no keeper.  A couple of the girls would switch in, and a volleyball player was recruited to help out.  That stuff happens in high school, but they had fun.
