Usl is forming a lower division starting up I believe next year. It will be 3rd division and be in small towns that don't have existing teams.

I don't see the DA system likely producing more quality players than what came out before a decade or so ago. Now they are looking to duplicate this with the girls. It is not like we didn't produce some top players in the past. The DA is just consolidation of what existed before but too much is still left open for local clubs to implement.

USL could be and it's an interesting place to start. not sure how much say USSF has in what USL franchises might do. Many USL teams seem to prefer older internationals, taking a cue from the MLS.

I have been waiting for this epic failure. Our demise is multi-faceted. Coaches and Scouts that want to win now and not develop for the future. What is our country's identity? Are we going to be technical team, or big and fast team, or creative team, or disciplined team?
Also way too may foreigners in our domestic leagues and college. My son played D1 soccer and there were so many foreigners that had no business being on the squad. If they were any good they would not be here but they get the benefit of the doubt.
I went to a Rowdies game and half the team is foreign. We even have a keeper from Japan. We are not talking MLS here but a level two league on our pyramid. Are you telling me there are no good home grown keepers right here in Florida and Tampa Bay that can play keeper for the Rowdies?

Can someone explain to me the business model behind these leagues or colleges bringing in foreign kids to their teams? College is easy , they pay full tuition , no?

100% agree if US wants to get better at soccer the College and lower leagues teams need to have more American players

Originally posted by Unregistered View Postthey do it is called USL and NASL.
In hockey they have different levels, Major Jr. Hockey the players are considered pros and have not intention of going to college. Next level they are considered armatures. Of course everything is paid for and provided for them and all compete on equal footing. A system like this for the true elite players would be better than the DA at least for the 16-18 ages

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAgain... and I am very tired of repeatedly asking this question, other than professional soccer teams and parents who else in this country is going to pay the money necessary for our children to receive the training necessary to become successful soccer players? As far as I know, youth soccer is only free for players on MLS Development Academy teams.
