As I have said before, High School only needs 4 months, if Club can't do theirs in 8 months, well this should be addressed. Club's cannot get enough of your time and your money.
This statement continues the South Carolina-centric theme in this thread. High School soccer across the country involves 9 months not 4. Any inter-state club or other soccer program would interact with more than just 4 months of high school. Even our adjacent state, NC, has boys soccer in the fall and girls in the spring.
AAU and traveling baseball are also not good comparisons since, as far as I know, all states (or most at least) play those two sports in the winter (basketball) and spring (baseball).

The first 3 events could have been chosen, then no conflicts.
2010-11 ECNL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS:
ECNL Regular-Season Event #1 Aug. 27-29, 2010 Temecula, Calif.
ECNL Regular-Season Event #2 Dec. 3-5, 2010 Raleigh, N.C.
ECNL Regular-Season Event #3 Dec. 27-29, 2010 Sanford, Fla.
ECNL Regular-Season Event #4 March 4-6, 2011 San Antonio, Texas
ECNL Regular-Season Event #5 May 28-30, 2011 Zarephath, N.J.
ECNL National Championship July 14-16, 2011 TBD
Concerning the first event, maybe the parents feedback was...let's don't take the girls out of school two weeks after it gets started. Of course, the decision also could have been due to the less expensive flights to TX, or that San Antonio offers more to do off the fields, etc.

With as many ECNL events occurring basically year round, I do not see the merit of your argument.
Again, in this instance, it could have been avoided.
If players/parents are going to play HS and Club they should be considerate and professional enough to avoid conflicts.

i see HS coaches love having top talented players on their squads. its an extra bonus to have club players that play year-round soccer and r3pl/ecnl. they appreciate having players that are committed to soccer, improving their skills/fitness outside of HS ball. they know their star players will be committed to the team when region play and playoff come around.
HS coaches owe a lot to club ball and club players make many of HS coaches sucessful.

No doubt, the Club players are a benefit to the HS. This is not the argument. My daughters got great play during their Club years, but enjoyed every minute of HS play. They like us (parents) got sick of the Club politics.

Parents – support your players in whatever activity they love outside of academics and when/if they decide to stop, support them all the same. Complaining/whining doesn’t help and only makes them 2nd guess their commitment.

That is precisely my point. They will have conflicts no matter what months of the school year they have events. Saying there are only 4 months that they need to avoid or that they have 8 other months they can use is inaccurate.

My daughter loved playing both club and high school but got frustrated with the politics of BOTH.
