Speaking only from my experience the past 8 years with my kids, here in Greenville. As recent as 2008 (and the years before) College Soccer Coaches would scout at their High School games. After 2008, I have seen none. Not to say that there could have been some. These teams of 09 and 10 did have players to go on and play college soccer. The combines make is easy for the College Coaches to view many players. No doubt a good thing. It should not have to be either, or.
Club or High School. There should be adequate time for both.
Many of the bigger Clubs (in my opinion) are not favorable
to high school play.
