[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he was truly competitive in soccer he would be playing Academy and couldn't play HS anyhow. So why bother with school soccer? [/quote]

NP, that's simply not true. Many schools have athletic programs that are considered supremely superior to any private organization.[/quote]

I agree with the earlier poster - outside of the private IMG school in FL that is always false.

Set that aside though, and let’s assume this is a legit post for the sake of argument.

If the kid’s club team is active this Spring then it is no question that he should play club.  This covid year is creating huge issues with scheduling high school sports.  As a 15 year old guy, high school soccer is at best a xxxx show.  And, I am a big supporter of high school soccer.  The problem for guys is that club players are almost always too good for JV and way too small for Varsity where they play against 17 and 18 year olds.  In this pandemic year / with shortened seasons - you are nuts to consider playing.  I would also say that your kid already knows that.

Going out on a limb here but I assumed "Soccer" was code for basketball or baseball or track and field or swimming or any other sport than soccer. Especially, because there are sports that the penultimate play is in HS, like field hockey or lacrosse at some of the DC area privates

I also assumed DS was actually a DD. I know when I post, I change enough of the pertinent details to not be identifiable in case my neighbor or colleague is reading...[/quote]

That would make more sense, because the idea of a parent trying to force a kid to play school soccer when he is being recruited based on his travel team soccer efforts is beyond bizarre.  [/quote]
