The injury rate for HS is very high compared to club. In CSA last spring, there were seven serious knee injuries requiring surgery to ECNL/Premier level players that were in their first year of HS.




Maybe this can be another thread. Does anyone have any data on this. I suspect it depends on the high school team. One that is filled with premier/ECNL players may not have a difference in injury rates because there isn't a standout. A team with a few premier/ECNL players I would surmise and on history those players get targeted by other teams and have a greater likelyhood of being injured. There are only a few high school teams filled with club players whereas there are a lot of high school teams with only a few premier players so maybe that is why it seems high schools have a greater injury rate.
