[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand the travel/HS divide. 
I’ve been reading on here how college scouts/recruiters don’t go to HS games. Travel is the way in, but you need be be wealthy to do travel in the first place. There is plenty of talent in HS but no one there to see it. 
My kid is 11 and we don’t have money to invest in travel soccer but my kid loves soccer. The system sucks. [/quote]

This is where the wealth divide kicks in. It is impressive how much players develop with good coaching (and innate talent may not be enough to compensate for the rigorous club training). This is where schools could play a role by giving a chance to players who may not have the same opportunities. I am not sure how the schools would do this though. Setting up a team for players who don't play club? Is there enough talent to fill out a team this way? Would it be competitive enough to play well against other teams? How long would you fund such a team if they are not doing well in competitions?[/quote]
