Are you aware that many pre-H.S. WI kids play on clubs nowadays ? There hasn't been defections from the H.S. summer teams because of the quality of the coaching staff. However, I can see that changing in the future if the current H.S. staff leaves/retires and the program drops a notch or two, then some of the top kids may play for the top clubs instead. I have seen a few kids choose the club team when conflicts arise at the pre H.S. level.

A teams and B teams are formed they travel out of state and kids on the B teams get recruited and play at the next level. It can be done but it requires everyone involved to think of the town program as a whole from K-12 and keep as many kids playing together . Too many parents are only worried about Jr. and dont see the big picture! Start them young, keep them together, and they will wait there turn to step on the Varsity field . Its that simple.


What town?
