    High School vs. Club Sports

    For some sports and athletes, there is the debate on whether an athlete should focus on high school athletics, focus on club athletics or attempt to find a balance between both. Each college coach will have his or her own philosophy of the good and bad of either scenario and as a prospective student-athlete, you should ask several coaches for opinions.

    Benefits of High School Sports over Club Sports:

  • Athletes get the opportunity to play with and against older and younger athletes (similar to college).
  • Athletes are in an environment of hierarchy―they learn the roles expected of being a freshman, senior and the two years in-between.
  • Representing a high school (sometimes a community) can create a feeling of pride, passion and belonging that may not occur within club sports.
  • Competitive club players may not get to develop strong leadership roles in club sports, but they may get that opportunity at the high school level, especially in the latter years.
  • Athletes experience another coaching style and philosophy that will allow them to grow in their knowledge of the sport―every coach has something to teach.

    • Benefits of Club Sports over High School Sports:

  • Athletes experience playing with and against athletes of the same age and similar talent level.
  • Without a hierarchy of ages an athlete may feel more comfortable accepting and developing a leadership role within the team.
  • Club teams tend to travel farther and are exposed to different teams, styles of play, and philosophy―more than most high schools.
  • Club teams tend to have like-minded athletes around them which can create an environment of synergy as the athletes set and attain their goals.
  • There are fewer restrictions on practice and game schedules, which can create more learning opportunities for the athlete.
