[quote=Anonymous]A few reasons:

They are very good and it's a fit.

Their parents or they have aspirations of winning, playing in college, etc... This can be aspirational or cultural (families expect it so kids do it).

To be competitive for school team: my kid attends a public HS where his sport is very competitive (less than 40% of kids who try out make it, and kids who aren't at all competitive generally do not try out). 90% of the kids on the JV and Varsity teams play club (at least until they get on Varsity). Club and school just go together. Of course some kids are so good they don't even look at the school team (or can't because they're MLS next). You can roll back the clock and see how playing club in 8th makes you competitive in 9th. Playing in 7th makes you better in 8th. Playing in 6th makes you get on a good team in 7th. Etc... You might laugh at this or be one of the DCUM parents who complain about HS soccer, but look at WJ, Whitman, etc...

Those are reasons why, I guess.
