You would definitely weaken the smaller high school teams and leagues if you make kids choose between one or the other. It would be a much harder decision for a kid who plays at a competitive school like Wando or Mauldin who knows she'll get more similar levels of play plus the fun of HS ball versus a good player at a smaller school who would obviously benefit more, skill-wise, with continued club play.


Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; [it] is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
