    Agreed, but USSF is a NON-PROFIT organization that rolled this out as a means to supposedly combat the international competition catching up.
    They're sitting on a stockpile of $160M cash. Imagine if they'd made GDA smaller and actually funded it, rather than give away a few token scholarships?

You don't need to send the kid down the street to play, since you can do it in your own yard. You don't need to go out and try to get the best athletes, since everyone wants to play.

        Then, when you get older, you are brought into a club where there are, literally, hundreds of them to teach your kid. All supported by a league and clubs who have been around for a hundred years.

        It's a totally different scenario here.
        It is totally different. Teaching soccer to young players is financially supported by the industry from the top down as they search for new stars.

        Here teaching soccer is financially supported from the bottom up as the families of young players pay loads for training but also...for lots of wasteful and useless travel that has absolutely nothing to do with learning to play soccer well.

        Completely different business models.

              Up your game loser and maybe you can see a naked body for free without having to fly to a kid soccer tournament.

                The Go Go bar is the only place he gets to see his wife naked since she left him.
