What is your experience playing club soccer: for me as a soccer player, club soccer is more important than high school. With club soccer, you travel around the country competing in showcases against the best teams and it never stops. I played for an academy as well, which meant that i was not allowed to play high school soccer in my last two years. It serves as a much better feeder tool than high school to get into the college game: from a business prospective, club soccer is a very lucrative business. There are many different sources of income for usys, whether that be through team registration, coaching licenses, and sponsorships at tournaments.
