First, I have to say: what a great thread! This is how this message board should be used.

One additional item that occurs to me: decide how you will handle any club / school conflicts. Will players be allowed or encouraged to play for club and school? How will conflicts be resolved?

My son's jv team supports his club participation, and vice versa. As a result, he plays a lot of soccer. So far, so good; the two programs have complemented each other, each providing components missing from the other.
