As a travel coach I have made it a point to "stay out of the way" of HS or middle school "time", meaning all practices during the spring season were either late in the day or on Sundays and ALWAYS encouraged my players, when their was a conflict, to attend the school events...with that being said, the summer is OURS and while the athletes can/should/may play both, I would hope the HS coaches provide the same encouragement to their players who continuously get better playing with the elite teams and whose opportunities for recruitment exponentially increase DURING the summer when college coaches actually have time to visit these events. |
