Too many coaches doing private training or running other teams at same age group though other programs. If your family can't afford the extras and is just as good if not better than the others who are funneling money into the coaches pocket, guess who is getting the opportunities? All about money and the coach who has the kid and family in their face and lining their pocket is going to get more opportunities over a player of equal talent or even slightly better. I have seen it even where there was no question one is way more talented and the coach favors the family feeding her/his bank account.
Look at Rough Riders and LISC. Rough Riders uses the same coaches that coach their Academy and EDP teams at LISC. Not all kids do RR and LISC because their families can't afford it or they would like to take a break from soccer so guess who is getting preference? Rough Riders should be completely separate from and club affiliation like PDP and ODP.
