[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why play on the high school team? It doesn't help with recruiting and only increases the risk of injuries. Focus on academics and aim to get on the highest team with his club.  [/quote]

Recruiting?  A kid that doesn't make their JV team sophomore year isn't getting recruited to play in college.  Not everyone has that goal.  Some just like to play soccer. [/quote]
Playing for a school team can be a huge part of a kids identity, confidence, and social experience in high school. And it can be a lot of fun! Most kids who play HS sports have no plans to play in college. [/quote]

Based on the comments in this forum, it seems a kid playing in HS is more important to parents identity than the kids.

The training is way too concentrated on running and strength and the games are poor quality. 
Can't see why it's so much fun (over club soccer)[/quote]

Different lanes for different kids.  I have a daughter starting HS next year and one who has graduated from HS.  The older one chose what she wanted to do in HS for activities.  We won't tell our younger one what to do.  We let them make their own decisions about activities.  Just get good grades.  You sound like a parent overly concerned about your kids not playing HS sports.  [/quote]

This is a soccer chat.
One of the most inconsequential HS sports is soccer.

It is a pathway to nowhere.  Except the Orthopedic Surgeon's office.[/quote]

Can we get over this idea that there is nothing worthwhile besides ECNL/MLSNext/D1?

How about the pathway to happy, well-rounded human?

(Because high-level club soccer athletes don't end up injured? In my experience, that happens long before HS.)[/quote]
