Iron sharpening iron happens occasionally, but far too infrequently as long as they keep taking anyone's money.

This shell game has all of you twisted, not knowing which way is up. Attacking paper pushers.
That's why it continues. Ignorant masses.

A quick glance shows that only 2006 seems to have changed. I wonder if they weren’t supposed to cut at all anyway. Who knows? Who cares? It’s about development. And that starts with players wanting it themselves. If this is a step they take to contribute to that more power to them.

It isn't terrible. It is better than sitting on the couch watching TV. My kid didn't get much out of it but YMMV.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostEven at MLS clubs it's still a quasi-business. They use camps and other training programs to help fund DA, which USSF mandates them to be free. That costs them big bucks and they see very little reward from it - very few home growns will come out of any one club, and clubs can't profit from contracting them out elsewhere like they can abroad. So no, nine year olds aren't not going to be free. If he's got the skills when he's 14+ that's a different story. No one should participate hoping to be discovered. It's only for extra training. If you have that attitude then your only disappointment will be if the coaching is if the coaching isn't up to snuff.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostMan City, Ajax, etc. academies start at U9. My son is 9 yrs. old and he is on the radar of scouts overseas already (can play in Europe). Nobody from the Timbers knows he exists. Who is doing scouting for the Timbers? Timbers should scout, give tryouts, and provide scholarships to top prospects at 9, 10 yrs. old. Why scholarships only on family income? You want a player in your academy and you expect that player to pay you and you have the right on that player? Something is definitely wrong...sorry
If your kid is that great, then move back overseas. He'll stagnate in the US. Seriously.
