I am actually going to pay tribute to Club. Good Club play actually helps to have better High School play. And the players know that. What concerns me is Club, in particular with this ECNL schedule, now Club is lasting year round and actually at time conflicting with High School schedules. Can you imagine if a High School team had something going on during Club season and the players chose the High School over Club. Those Club directors would go crazy. The two (Club and High School) should have enough respect for the players and each other to totally avoid this. There should not even be Clubs practicing during the High School season. The players get more than enough play during that time and yes they do need time off.
