i agree with alot of what you are saying but check your pm. mine is lucky. since she has a high school coach that is as good or better than most club coaches she will get good training year around. i have a older one that played so i know how the system works with the clubs. the difference is high school is a group of girls that are friends, club is a group of girls ( some)that would trip their own teammate just so they didnt look better than the tripper.
If you can admit that, which (hs or club) is more important to your daughter's social development as an adult? Would you agree that playing sports with friends is something that is beneficial to her well-being? Or do you look at it as "my daughter does this to get a scholarship!"? Is that parenting or looking out for your own wallet?
I wouldn't agree with you that HS athletics is just a group of friends. I don't know of many coaches around me or any other area for that matter that WOULD agree with you. That's a horrible way to perceive a competitive sport.
