Soccer has not reached the wheel yet, it still is square.
But I’m sure you have better suggestions

Plus what is needed for one 12 year more advanced team is very different than a less skilled team. Fine to have coach's guides by ages, (maybe two sets for low vs higher level skills), that have skill-goals and drills to help get there. But that's about it.

How about a curriculum within each club? A vision within each club for each age group etc... A system? A plan?

Already answered, but you ask again, so we answer again.
It is working out great! the system is optimized for the needs of the payers. The payers only care about believing they are giving their kid an advantage. Fractured system works perfectly to allow more parents to pay fpay hope.
So if you want to change things, find a new source of funding. How is that working out?

They have instituted a curriculum and training regimen that in a short period of time has provided magnificent results. All those A coaches are teaching the same thing.
That is how it is working out.
Funding follows success. And the system should be optimized for the needs of the player, not the payer. They should pay for results, not hope

Only thing stopping coaches feom being licensed is time and money. Iceland paid for all their coaches to get their UEFA A license. Here in the states, that same license and all the licenses before it will cost you upwards of $9k and take a minimum of 5years with waiting periods, scheduling, and such.
The biggest issue in our country is a lack of qualified and properly educated coaches, especially at the grassroots level where kids are supposed to be taught fundamentals.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWe have a national curriculum, it's called the US Soccer National License program. Coaches from CA to MA and everywhere in between are taught the same methods and materials. It is up to the coaches to then take that to their home clubs amd use it. We even have a national system of play, 1:4:3:3 with an emphasis on buildout from the back and true 6/8/10 midfield. And yet, clubs all over the country have decided to use 1:4:4:2 or 1:3:5:2 or some variant.

It doesn't seem like US Soccer is trying to improve the system. The leadership is truly clueless.

This guy gets it. Well meaning but completely unqualified volunteer parent coaches are typically kids first soccer experiences. If you're lucky your town pays some college kids with the lowest licensure trying to make some beer money

"SOCCER AMERICA: I’ve heard this: There is a shortage of A and B license coaches, the DA clubs need them, which means that those who have those licenses can demand higher salaries, which is very expensive for the clubs. Clubs that pay the course fees for their coaches say the courses are expensive and that creates another significant hit to their budget. That affects the entire club, not just DA players. That doesn’t seem to be in the best interest of American soccer, does it?"
If USSF wants more trained coaches they need to start footing some of the bill and/or lower the cost and make it more readily available. Coaches who want it are a more motivated bunch, but cost/logistics/life can be big hurdles. Their solution? Open a site in Kansas lol
