I have only known one high level player who chose not to play

high school. That was for one year - junior year. This off year was injury related in part, but not entirely.

I have been told about one other very high level player who chose not to play in high school for at least a couple of years but I did not know this person and have no direct knowledge of the case.

My experience relates to high school teams that competed for and won several state championships and club teams that played in R3PL, Classic 1 and Athena A.
