I coach in the high school age group. Nobody has consolidation of the top 18 players in the state. This is over all the age groups as a whole. It’s also important to know that being on different teams is better for them. forwards from every top 5 club team team in the state in my age group has kids going to good soccer schools. Top 5 teams in the age group have a D1 forward which isn’t always the best place to be but still an indicator of development and opportunities for players. Top 5 teams in the age group can beat each other on any given day. Top 7-8 teams in this geographical area have no excuse to not play each other except for being worried someone might sort their shiz out for them.
You need good coaches who your kid can understand and can learn from. Doesn’t have to always like them but should understand why when they don’t.
A group of players that commit generally the same as your kid does.
The recognition of challenging trainings and improvement in games.
If you did this for 7-8 years your kid can play on a decent college team. Do this for 3-5 years and you still can play on some teams. This isn’t rocket science.

I trust you are kidding when you claim to be a coach.

On the sideline, “I know best, this coach is an idiot, blah blah blah.”
I should have wrote it in crayon.

It's reassuring you still have your 'go to' crayons.
Color by numbers might be a great next step for you.
Love the effort.

Might want to stick to that instead of trying to understand soccer. No wonder you’ve been found struggling.

Sorry, can’t hear you through all the struggles and issues that follow you around each day.
I wrote it twice so you wouldn’t get lost.

DA can drop or add players at time they like, tryouts are not a requirement. Scouting and recruitment are allowed without any push back.
It's confusing for those not in the US Soccer DA.

Please tell us why the da thorns can’t seem to give away spots unless it’s the kids final year playing club for fun otherwise the teams are terrible and all the talent seems to not go there.
Serious question.
