It would be interesting to know how many players on each team plays club ball during the Fall. And then see how those teams improve through the year. I suspect that teams with a high number of club players will be a lot stronger againist teams in the beginning than at the end. I see it with Chapin. It is taking a while for players to get into soccer shape. I see the wonderfully athletic players coming from basketball and having a hard time on the soccer field. So as the adjust and improve their conditioning they will have a greater impact for the team.
Chapin has only 3-4 club players from the fall that I am aware of...
