[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At most large publics boys have no chancenof even making JV HS team without club experience[/quote]

Do they last in high school if they had a lot of higher-level club experience leading up to high school, but quit club at some point and focus on school and other things? [/quote]

Will let you know about my kid!

I've seen lots of kids who don't do club (now, ever) get cut that were surprising cuts. [/quote]

I guess club is less painful for parents in the final years of high school anyway, once kids can drive and travel with the team for tournaments? [/quote]

Not really. Kids in our state can't drive others until well into being 17.

Also it's not just about the driving to practice in high school. It's about the time suck and opportunity cost...and for what? To maybe get an offer to play soccer at University of AnotherState SecondCityCampus? When your kid could get into a better school to not play? And could have gotten into a much better school had they focused on academics and other activities besides soccer for hs? [/quote]

Yes, all these things are in my head. Like, by 9th grade, school can't be compromised by sports. It's not going anywhere. [/quote]
