STEVE GANS: This is a great question. One of my good friends in the game hits the nail on the head when he says: “DOC’s of youth clubs are kings. They are kings of a very small kingdom (i.e., the club), but kings nonetheless.” One of the main reasons they are kings is that parents so often are extra deferential to them because they believe that the playing and playing future fate of their child is in the hands of the DOC.
In most cases, parents of current players are those who serve on the Club Board. And thus, there is an inherent conflict of interest in that Board position. That conflict of interest is neither financial nor legal in nature. It is rather, a far more visceral and emotional conflict of interest – involving the love of and hopes for a child. A Board member voting against the wishes of or disciplining a DOC does an internal gut check in such case – for he or she will be concerned that the DOC may react to such disappointment by restricting the related child’s playing time or opportunities. Every Board member who is a current club parent has that thought in those situations, and it is not easy to find enough Board members who have the strength to make the right call irrespective of the potential repercussions.
The DOC should have significant input and influence in many matters, but there should be real checks and balances on his or her power and influence. That is achieved both by delineating the responsibilities and powers of the DOC in his or her Employment Agreement, and by choosing Board members who have the strength at all times to act independently -- irrespective of the fear that their child might suffer for the sins (i.e. a decision contrary to the DOC) of the parent.

STEVE GANS: In an overarching sense, the most important thing club leaders can do is to ensure that the organization is run as professionally as possible. In so many cases, youth clubs have started as modest grassroots organizations and they have had meteoric growth in connection with the sport’s (and related pay-to-play) boom, and often the sophistication of the club’s operation does not keep pace.
Make sure that the right people are in place. Coaches should coach and administrators should administrate. It is essential to get an independent Board of Directors – not a rubber stamp Board – in place.....

I am sure this is rightfully borrowed and not plagiarism.
Their philosophy is simple and somewhat successful-
“Recruit outside of the club like hell because we can’t develop players”
Great mission statement

You can hate on MJ for all sorts of reasons, but he has done a great job of developing the players on his team. 4 consecutive State Cups. Early commits. Multiple quality showcase opportunities. The results speak for themselves.

Is this....
Is this the club he took from BSC to HSC to IFC ? Have to admit they are really really good. It would be cool to see what they could do in the ECNL or GDA too.
