If kid has been in superior system from u12 to u14 parents and players will be able to make educated decisions about choices and quickly know bullish!t. Instead USSF went for the throat trying to yank older girls out higshool soccer and off well establised strong ECNL programs.
ECNL is no inoccent angel but USSF made huge tactical misstep and hurts a lot players in key college recruiting years and other players have given up precious highschool memories to be a pawn in a ******* contest.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe issue that people seem to ignore is that our country is bigger than all of Europe. It’s impossible to consolidate the talent and keep travel costs down. It’s a far bigger obstacle than people seem to realize. The result is that the leagues get watered down out of necessity. But to your original point, do we need a second national league? Not if the goal is to try and identify the top players for the NT, but if it is to provide more exposure for college to a broader base of kids, then yes. Something else people miss is that the “money maker” teams that every large club has are what enables those same clubs to provide scholarships for talented kids without means. It’s an interesting system, but like the economy, more complicated than it appears at first glance. Everyone thinks they have the answer, but no one does.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNot the poster - do regional events, or maybe combine two regions (example here do NE plus mid Atlantic). Most kids want schools not terribly far from home. If would better match up players and colleges. No more trips from here to FL, CA, AZ.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostMy point was we already break it down regionally. Any plan needs to be a lot more than that, How about regional leagues, leading to a regional team. then regional tournament. Each region team can be coached by the USSF and then play a tournament. cost to be fronted by the USSF.
