Maybe play for FCA in Middle school if you want to get in to CH and have a chance at standing out among so many incoming freshmen.

But if CH=FCA, wouldn't it be good to diversify for recruiting purposes?

Get 2x as many people working for your recruitment instead of the same 2 people.

Thanks.

If a club coach has 2 similar players and one plays for his HS team, he's going to prefer his HS player and give that player more exposure. Same is true the other way. There is no way a coach can be completely objective in that situation.

So there's advantages and disadvantages either way you go. I guess it's something to consider but I think there would be more important determining factors if you're choosing between clubs or HS.
