This is a very interesting discussion on scheduling. Much has been said (on many other threads) about high school soccer taking a back seat to club soccer, but I really like the idea that high school coaches are free to schedule opponents to give themselves competitive games. This luxury does not exist in club soccer, outside of picking your tournaments and setting up friendlies. In club soccer you are put into a division and you are restricted to playing those teams in your league. If you are the BEST team in the league, you are not going to get much competition and your matches won't be too exciting. If you are the WORST team in the league, you are obviously punching way above your weight and get ready to absorb some blows (with no relief).
In high school soccer you have more freedom to adjust your schedule to fit your needs.
