While watching college football, i was wondering how high schools manage to produce div 1 or lower prospects at all positions, even here in Mass, without the existence of club or Dap programs, yet soccer has virtually eliminated that opportunity?
You can watch top quality h/s football games on ESPN, where many of those players will go on to play college football, and not help to be impressed. Where are these players trained? Is it through the h/s? Do they compete in off-season clubs? Are there Sunday leagues you can watch and training with coaches 3 nights a week? Is there the equivalent to the soccer club or DAP programs? Is it entirely a better system?
What has happened to soccer? How has it devolved into a private universe? Has the system been polluted by salesmen, including US Soccer? Are people taking advantage of the ignorance level of many soccer parents? Why has the h/s scene capitulated to outside influence?
And how long do we accept the generally accepted failure of this system to produce quality players at increasingly expensive cost?
