[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for the responses. I talked with people from 7 different clubs, and none had this approach to the season. So it is somewhat reassuring to hear that some clubs do this.

I am not sure that my DS will play HS ball, so he - and any other kids like him - will lose out. That just doesn't sit well with me so we may be moving clubs - not exactly an ideal thing to do at this stage. [/quote]

Why wouldn’t he play high school? Most kids who play club want to play in high school. That’s almost the point of playing club - to be good enough come high school.

The only kids we know who don’t play in high school are on MLSNext teams. [/quote]

So false.

Every college coach told my son they do not care about high school soccer.  They will not come to HS games abd any film take they want at the ECNL/MLSNext level.

Junior year he decided to focus only on club which plays at such a higher level than HS.[/quote]

Should have added more context, but I don’t disagree with that. I should have added that unless a kid was good enough or planning to play in college or go pro, and so needs to play travel/club to accomplish that, the only other reason to do travel/club is to be good enough or stay competitive enough to make your HS team.

My kid is MLSNext and has never wanted to play HS and we prob will disallow it if he wanted to, where I have another kid who is in EDP and only wants to make their high school team.[/quote]

Have you thought about, maybe, for fun? A kid who likes to play at a certain level and enjoys being with other likeminded players?[/quote]
