So, you really think that lack of funding would keep a star athlete from attending a private school and playing a sport at that school? Man, do I have a deal for you on a bridge. It is located in Brooklyn, but it is a great deal ...
But on a different more positive note, maybe we are looking at this wrong. Maybe the answer lies in more club players available at every level. The success of the 70433 zip code might provide a model in that this zip code hosts very competitive club teams outside of the big 5 soccer clubs that LSA protects from competition. With Slidell and Covington and Madisonville soccer clubs all providing competitive alternatives to MSC we have expanded the number of top level club players to spread around our area high school teams. This is not a knock on LSA or any of the big 5, just a suggestion that competition is never a bad thing. Rather than PDL, lets go back to straight promotion/regulation and make sure every group has the opportunity to compete against the best to be the best.
