Looking for advice for my son. He's one of the best 2006 keepers around. DA is not a goal because he also plays baseball at a high level. Since he will play baseball in High School we plan on playing soccer in High School as well.
That being said, he has offers from 3 different teams and I'm trying to find balance with baseball. The priority is minimal conflict with practices. The level of the teams differ and they will play in different leagues. I am not placing a priority on which is the "better" team. If anything, I am of the mindset that a weaker defense would be better for his overall development as a keeper.
Should the league the teams will play in be a factor in my decision?
Right now, SCDSL Flight 1 seems to be more balanced with our overall schedule, but with the best teams going to Discovery, would the drop off in talent be detrimental to my son's development?

- ECNL would probably be most difficult with conflicts due to the travel involved.
- Discovery could be problematic due to games being in Norco and most of our baseball tourneys are in Orange County.
- SCDSL Flight 1 would probably have the least amount of conflicts.
