I was under the imopression that there are many levels in club soccer. Premier, challenge, classic, and academy/developmental.
When it comes to high school and club, many high schools place their teams in club level in the off-season. Some high schools benefit from their kids playing classic becasue then the high school coach (who doesn't have to be licensed) can take all the training that the club coach (who has to be licensed and is usually a better coach) and translate that into a winning season with little or no effort.
Gotta love it!!!
