HeTakes, you personally don't know one kid that plays for a higher level club that doesn't also have a quality High School coach? Seriously? I can name a dozen without really thinking about it. And practicing 5 days a week vs 2 or 3 might be better in general, if ALL things were equal.

Except for probably 4 or 5 high schools in this state, I'd say that high school season impedes the top players, but helps the remainder. The area between the two groups is a gray one.



Man...you just trashed most of the coaches from this state.
So there only 4 or 5 good enough coaches in this state to properly coach kids?....give me a break. I can name 30 off the top oh my head (maybe not their name, but their school). How many higher level soccer clubs are there? Where are they getting their coaches from? The numbers don't add up.
I'm familiar with 3 club programs. And no, I can't think of one kid that doesn't have a high caliber High School coach.
So, I'll call you to the mat.
You said a dozen, I just want two. Name me two kids that are being hurt by their High School coach, or that choose not to play high school ball.
