going a little further with the hs/club difference.... while attending soccer camps at Clemson and other colleges, they all had a college meeting to ask question about recruiting and so forth. when asked which did they see as "more important", high school or club soccer, the coaches all replied with club. this makes sense seeing how high school is defined by school lines and zoning, and club is not (even if it means driving hours to practice). then this issue gets into the tangle of financial problems with club being the MUCH higher cost of play, and kids whose families just do not have the sources to pay for it. however i have never heard of anyone being recruited soley on high school play. from my experience, it's almost always been based on club play. one of the girls on my club team was actually "recruited" the very minute after our team won state.
