[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A high school team is far easier to make than a top club team. [/quote]

Depends on high school team. Plenty of Arlington players don't make Yorktown varsity. In club, you can pay your way in or finesse relationships for spots on teams. Harder to do at a competitive high school. [/quote]

Plenty?  Are you sure you're not exaggerating?  How many Arlington ECNL players tried out for Yorktown high school and didn't make the varsity squad, and how many of those were not freshmen?

Many Arlington players don't try out for high school.  Of those that do, most of them make the varsity squad in their freshman year.  Very few indeed don't make varsity in their sophomore year - and in those cases there's a strong argument that the high school coach made a poor decision.

In my view there is very little ability to pay or finesse your way onto an Arlington top team - it's much easier to do this in high school, where external relationships with coaches, parent boosters, family history, and preference for older kids who have been in the program in previous years all play a big role in both selection and playing time to the detriment of the overall performance of the team.[/quote]

This is true, many Arlington players get varsity spots at Yorktown, younger players on lower teams get JV spots. Do all of them get spots? No there are a lot more HS age club soccer players than spots on the HS team.[/quote]
