>>[ntheno] My point is that there are some "old school" (for lack of a better word) coaches in this state that do very much resist working with Clubs.<<
Agreed.
>>The ones that lose out in this situation are the kids who aspire to play college level ball.<<
Only if they choose to play high school and is a member of a club that has only events that directly conflict with high school practices and games.
This is one of the reasons that if your kid wants to play college ball, that you want that kid to be a member of a club that offers many opportunities to play during the spring instead of just one or two.
Conversely, the kid should have enrolled in CESA CAP. It's an open program and there are enough events such that you can find one which doesn't conflict with a high school practice or game.
>>These kids and their families know that the exposure to the college coaches is through their Club, NOT high school.
99% agreed. I would note, however, that there have been Division 1 coaches at some of the Lexington girls games, however (e.g., Auburn.) But you're right 99% or more of the time.
>>If both entities worked together in entirety, soccer in this state would benefit greatly.<<
Agreed.
