"While student athletes typically still compete for their schools, and many juggle schedules to play for both school and club teams, a growing number of teenagers in some sports are giving up school colors and varsity letters altogether to play exclusively for nonschool teams....It's a development that some observers say is inevitable in an age of increasing competition and specialization among young athletes." (EDUCATION WEEK) This article discusses how some critics are worried young athletes who bypass high school athletics to compete for club teams "are missing out on something they will never be able to recapture: the chance to represent their schools and local communities in what traditionally has been seen as part of a broader educational experience."
