Club soccer does not get in the newspaper or on the 11PM newscast. This is looked as something that goes on behind behind the scenes and goes without publicity. High school is, well, high school. This is something whole communities get behind. Club ball does not get the recognition that it deserves. If not for club ball, providing at least a couple of players for any particular high school, the high school programs would be even more pitiful than they are now, with a few notable exceptions.
Just my opinion, but I think is the correct one.
