Are kids ready for a college atmosphere at 15 years of age? I have no doubt whatsoever that their skill level improves. The success rate of such academies speaks for itself...but at what cost? Is a combined HS/45 minute club drive not enough for kids hoping to reach the college ranks? Birthday parties, prom, and homecoming are out the window all for some more intense training and the hope we produce more Marta's on US soil. Where do we draw the line?
