I love that passion of soccer40's daughter! I am not at all advocating there is anything wrong at all with high school soccer. It is a tremendous outlet for those who want to participate in a high school sport, and have a ball doing it. Those memories of playing your cross-town rivals and the bus rides out of town and the trouble you can get into with your coach, and the friendships made......all these high school memories will last forever. My one and hopefully only point, is that by training and developing with your club team year-round, without the separate coach and another system of play and another system of development; has proven to produce very strong club teams, that compete successfully regionally and nationally, if thats what you want.
