Chico,
Thanks for your views and I am very pleased that this can be discussed calmly. The CAP program is an invaluable resource for those wanting to play college soccer and was utilized. However, there were several occasions where the players were put in a pickle b/c of hs coach saying they couldn't miss a weekend practice. The other HUGE issue is that ALL hs juniors interested in college soccer should be involved in the CAP program! And I am sorry to say but there are coaches that will not promote this program.
You made alot of very valid arguments and supported them well also. The issue at hand involving 1.talk coach into your way of thinking 2. doing what the coach says or 3. quit is very difficult when a child wants to play for his hs team. Are you suggesting that Club players NOT play HS soccer? Interesting thought.
