The support (and sometimes , proximity) of the local soccer club is more important than the affluence of the community in determining the quality of the high school soccer program.

If CESA's best trainers and coaches were to move to the impoverished "I-95 Corridor" and started working with kids in that area, those high schools (some of which don't even have HS soccer teams now) would rise to the top and challenge for state championships.

The athletes are there....they just need to be nourished.
