I would also make the argument that if I had to pick two years between the ages of 6 to 18 where club soccer is most beneficial I would pick something in the 7 - 10 age range. The development at those ages establishes a solid foundation which helps their future developmental trajectory. If anything, I would think the oldest age groups are the least worthwhile for club (U17/U18) if the player is not realistically going to play college soccer..and they can just play high school soccer, right?
