Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSome guy last year (year before?) provided linked evidence to show on the girls' side OW lets 75% of its own "developed" players go and replaces them with players developed elsewhere.
Considering OW gets strong Ulittle players anyway, and considering those players are invested in the sport and are not daisy pickers, it's interesting to see that OW fails to develop its players with the same success as the clubs it aggregates players from.
The results at this age may make great memories and bragging rights for parents, but if they lose sight of the above their best soccer days will be at u11 and u12.
All the clubs experience tremendous roster turn from u11 to u16.

Ahhh, you are missing a couple of key points.
1) OW collects some of the strongers Ulittle players.
2) These players are invested in soccer, as are their families.
So if
3) OW has good and strong development.
then
4) OW wouldn't churn, because it had invested players, who were athletes and good players, and provided them the best training.
However
5) By U14, OW has dumped, cut, or otherwise let go 75% of its own players for players developed elsewhere.
So much for development at OW. If you can't develop the best players, what chance do the rest have?

A u little "invested" in soccer? What does this mean? Does this mean he/she "likes" it? Not sure how many sub 12 yr olds are "invested" in soccer?
Your #4, "........who were athletes and good players......" again labels the players. How can you say they are athletes? Is there some sort of database that tracks and rates the athletic ability of the u little players in CT?
Where are you pulling this "data" from? Wait, I think I know the answer to that one.
