    If soccer in this country needs to improve you have to take the private clubs out of the equation. Private clubs don’t care about player development, they care about parents money. Until we change the way we do things we wil always get the same results.

      I agree. the only thing that saves us is the sheer volume we have and that some kids come from families who really do understand the game. they take control of development and use the Clubs as tools to that end. Most simply get used by the Club

        Club soccer is not populated by families of naive rubes. Most are well off kids and the families use it as an activity to attend to and improve their players interest and talent and for fun. It is what it is and most families see it for what it is by U12.

          really? I respectfully disagree. it is populated by all types including some incredibly naive people

            And who exactly is going to pay for it?

              Ah no. We aren't growing more players. Same number of players spread across more clubs =dilution. High cost of participation keeps many out as well and that won't change either.

                  The people who stand to gain the most from real development. USSF should provide a training credit to the club of any player who makes a NT camp. Once you make X number of camps, the USSF should pay the Club for ALL your stringing expenses.

                  Maybe Colleges should provide the some benefit to the club for any player who gets athletic money

                  There is no direct line to the pros yet - but when there is , the Pro club should pay compensation if they draft a player from the GDA

                  Im not saying parents shouldn't pay, Im saying that success in development should be rewarded.

                  Im just throwing out ideas here so Im sure some are stupid.

                    What is so hard to understand? A poster mentioned something that is happening in Virginia GDA as a point of interest and you went "THIS IS MASSACHUSETTS WHO CARES" on him. Do you even know what myopic even means?

                            So I appreciate that you are throwing out ideas, keep going. As we go through them, it becomes apparent that "people who stand the most to gain" are indeed Parents.

                            Breakers prove Pro soccer can't pay Colleges won't pay - scholarships are for Title IX compliance (not revenue). Clubs benefit from promoted signings, more more likely for clubs to pay colleges (Access and logo use subscription).

                            So, Parents benefit the most, parents pay.
                            as other poster said, its not about scholarship. We pay to keep our kids healthy and included

                              Now ego get into it - we can do it better than you. USSf comes up with all these "improvements" designed to make a better environment for better players but guess what, it still costs $$.

                              If I am paying for something, then why should that something dictate what else I can do? Especially when the rewards for doing that something are not in any way tangible.

                              ECNL knows how to make $$ and the USSF really dont know how to develop better youth players. more camps and more travel is not the answer.

                              Losing 06 iat any level is enmbarassing wehn you spend as much $$ as the USSF does.
                              Except when USSF are posting beating up on another team that has only two soccer balls in it's federation and they are both given to the boys, first. guess they don't like it.
