Fun fact, although Japan does not have a drafting system like US, college/high school football remains a very important part of their youth system. Recent years, a lot of pro clubs even choose to cooperate with their local school in youth scouting and development. Which means player can choose their preferrable career path rather than focus on college/club solely. Mitoma is still a rare case, because he went from a club youth team (Kawasaki Frontale) to his college (University of Tsukuba), then he went straight back to the first team of his old club.

Club youth system of course provide a more professional environment and a closer relationship to the first team. On the other hand, school system brings stability and flexibility to a young athlete. You can always choose to quit football and focus on other option. Even if you are determine like Mitoma, it still provides you a chance to explore other things, like sport science.

In terms of standard of play, it is actually quite close. For example, both Shinji Kagawa and Shinji Okazaki came straight from their high school team to domestic top flight club. In fact, Japanese high school football attracts even more spotlight than club’s youth team, the recent final of the high school tournament recorded 50868 attendance in the main stadium of Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
