SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Club Soccer & ODP High School Soccer: Hurt or Help?

Kyle,
My comments were made in response to the hypothetical put forward by futbol that a preseason tournament was conflicting with a high level club tournament. I most definitely am serious, that as a coach, I would be supportive of my players to attend the club tournament. Not to be seen by out-of-state coaches, but to play with their club team on their quest to develop into a team that would challenge at Regionals.
And just to clarify my statement regarding the rest of the high school season, region play is the only determining factor for the playoffs. Those games carry the highest degree of importance, and if the club team conflicted with one of those, then as a coach, I would have more of a problem.
Additionally, a club coach of a high profile team will not, and probably should not, accept that a player wants to stay home and play in a high school preseason tournament.
