East coast to west coast are 5 hours flights a lot of area to try and cover. Geographically the US is a nightmare I think US Soccer is doing the best the came with the hands they are dealt.
    There are solutions to that. USSF doesn't care for them. The reality is they care about maybe 50 kids per age group per gender, if even that many. The thousands of others are practice cones for their top players. Those cones also fill the club coffers, which in turn helps USSF coffers. The more clubs taking players the more difficult it is for other leagues to survive. That's all USSF cares about - controlling the market.

      Their U15s are doing terribly but the U17s and U19s are doing well. They are by no means at risk of losing their badge, not even close.

        The DA program should only allow them play away games so the rest of us dont have to go through the suffering of playing their less than rec teams at IMG.

          The vast majority don’t charge the amount IMG does

            It's all vastly overpriced pay to play, especially once you add travel on top of costly fees

              Isn't IMG using Braden River to fill this age group? And the Braden River team is doing terrible?
