High school soccer in SC regularly consists of lower quality, less meaningful games, which is the opposite of what US soccer and it's many lower level competing organizations say is important. I don't see it as much of a positive for those desiring to play at a high level.
I agree there is an element of risk that what is good for men's soccer may not be good for women's soccer, but in the competitive world, refusing to change because you are the best now is a decent way to ensure you aren't the best in the future.
