What drives all of the expensive, pay to play national leagues is the allure of a D1 scholarship. These leagues promote and promise exposure for D1 rides. If and when those soccer scholarships dry up - you will quickly find those leagues and clubs that are in those leagues fold. Until that time there are plenty of suckers that are willing to spend lots of money in pursuit of those D1 dollars. Too bad they haven’t realized that at the end of the day, if they added up all of the money and time they’ve spent on youth soccer versus the scholarship money their kid actually gets - it’s almost a wash.

There are plenty of local clubs with "Dads" that have prior college level playing experience and dedicated the time to USSF or National licenses and just coach b/c they love the game and want to pass on that passion to their kids and community. I'd take that Dad coach over the "professional trainer" who's there mainly for the check any day - and the cost is 1/3rd.
