The details in the item striker placed above state a very interesting question. Why not have soccer play in every state at the same time of the year? Geography does create problems but.... if the northern schools can play in the fallwhy couldn't the southern schools??? although discussed before ad nauseum.... it would be best for the southern soccer player to play club ball in the spring for two reasons
1- better timing with respect to regionals and nationals... many who have gone to regionals know how difficult it is to train during HS season
2- college coaches would be mora available in the Spring than the Fall and would be able to do more scouting...

Just my opinion.
