Check out this Seattle Times story by Craig “Sideline Smitty” Smith about how the Seattle Crossfire club soccer team forces its players to choose them over playing for their high school teams in the spring. Most of the guys didn’t think twice about leaving their high school teams behind in favor of the exposure and high-level competition that the Crossfire offers, but I admire Tyler Klein of Eastlake for spurning the club team to captain the Wolves. He’s still going to UW.We had a few situations around here recently that pitted club soccer vs. playing for the high school. Last year, Manson High School’s two best players left the team after the regular season to play club ball. After winning the league title, the Trojans promptly lost their first two playoff games.Three Wenatchee players and two Eastmont players each missed a game to play with the Wenatchee Fire indoor team at nationals in Washington.What do you think? Play with your buddies and school pride or with the club team that’ll get you to the next level?
