[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its generally better to be on a HS team for the racing opportunities if nothing else. Yes you can race unattached in some meets against good HS comp but club only meets for HS age athletes are usually not that competitive. At least in season.

Otherwise there are too many variables to make a blanket statement. Is the HS coach competent? Competent in your event? Is the HS program year round or only in-season?  How good are you really? Are your dreams reasonable or aspirational?  Sprint talent has a significant "born with it" component.

June 1- Nov 15 or so is a large block of time when HS is not in season for track. So, at those times I don't see many HS coaches having issue with club participation. Many would be thrilled tbh, that a kid is motivated.

HS coach is not competent in sprints unfortunately. That’s why the club thing came up bc it’s a chance to train with a real sprinter. Dc was naturally fast right off the bat. Track was a fluke. He showed up because a football friend joined the team, but dc started winning races and the passion grew from there [/quote]
