I agree that it shouldn't be either or. I think the girl in AZ who wrote the article agrees it shouldn't be either or. I also think that it is not just bigger clubs who don't favor HS play. I know several parents who support their son or daughter in HS ventures but candidly wish that their child didn't play. There have even been a brave few who have not played HS because they felt it wasn't worth it.
I feel that most people at the bigger clubs are not in favor of completely doing away with HS soccer. But rather, they wish that serious players would look at HS soccer for what it usually is: a way to play some games in front of their friends along side of some friends who may not be good enough to play on their club team, and not something that should make them forego opportunities like the girl in AZ has to do.
