I'm always hearing about how club soccer is so much more important than HS soccer when it comes to development and recruiting, I'm wondering how players are expected (by their coaches) to juggle the two in the spring for the kids who are young enough to play spring club soccer.
Do you expect the player to be at every practice and game? What if they're at the far end of the bench? Where do you expect them to play when they have games in both at the same time? Is the expectation any different for a marginal starter versus a star? I am trying to get a feel for this as a Dad whose son is getting his first experience in school ball. I understand that the bottom line is what the expectation of HIS coach is but would like to know what others are doing. Thanks
