It also seems to be the case that the elite club sports can be played at a much, much higher level than high school sports. I know about half of the older kids at the elite levels of my sons' soccer club don't play high school soccer because of a belief that it doesn't challenge them, that the coaching is much worse than the professional coaching that they get at the club, and that it's more dangerous because of the unskilled players and poor referreeing. I know the club encourages this as well. I think soccer's a bit extreme in this regard, largely because coaches looking to advance are funneled into clubs rather than high schools, but it's undoubtable that club sports structure the youth sports landscape far, far more than they did 10-15 years ago.
