No need to get huffy and puffy with me patna. If your kid digs HS soccer, you like the coach/program... more power to you as I said. However, HS soccer is 100% a lesser level than ECNL. You've said repeatedly that your kid plays this level so you should know better than to say something different. You can be jaded by the process all you want, but college recruiting (in large part) happens at the club level in the highest level leagues. You KNOW this, so I'm not even understanding your point. HS soccer has benefits, but certiainly not from a soccer point of view from what I've witness over the years. I have NEVER been to a HS game and thought...wow these girls are ballin (maybe individuals but not teams). That is my experience. Perhaps yours is different and that's fine, but don'tever get it twisted. The college coaches will always go to the highest level leagues and look at those teams/clubs first. HS, if it is on their list, is probably the last place they'll show up unless your kid has already been identified and invited them to an HS game as I've already said.
