It certainly helps if you live 15 minutes from both the Club practice fields and the school practice fields. It also helps if you have a close correlation between Club and school, meaning Club kids flowing into 1-2 schools instead of 4-5 schools. Not sure how a Club coach can coordinate around that many schedules.

But a top level Club team is training 3-4 times per week to go along with games. I think the stars would have to be about perfectly aligned, or........have every flexible and tolerant school and club coaches. To think that there won't be a ton of conflict with a JV program that trains2-3 times per week plus 12 games......I just don't think is realistic.

Can it work? Of course. But it goes beyond committment.

Hurst, I've been dealing with it for 6 weeks now with soccer and MS basketball. Both coaches have been mad at me and neither accepts missed practices.
