I love both club and school softball, but I do prefer club softball. I have known my teammates for years and due to the fact that travel is year round, I have been able to build a bond with them between weekly practices, games and yearly out-of-state tournaments.

High school soccer allows me to have more freedom and express myself with creativity. Club allows for development and a goal to go to the next level but it provides a very competitive aspect. If I wanted to play with a carefree attitude it would be high school, but to have it as a future career it would be club.

I honestly prefer school soccer because it’s a lot less stressful when it comes to just wanting to play. I think there’s a lot more of a relationship with the teammates because we’re all friends outside of soccer and see each other outside of school so we’re able to form a connection that makes it easier to play.

I prefer school sports because my team becomes less of a collection of teammates and more of a brotherhood. We see each other all day everyday in classes and then during training. On top of that, school spirit adds a level of unity which you just don’t get at a club team.
