We are saying the same thing. The point was that HS has some great big, strong, extremely fast athletes that are just god awful soccer players. I mean really awful. So the point was that athletics for soccer is 1 piece of the puzzle. You cannot just have that alone - despite what others may say. -
They are 2008s.

only 1 kid from the entire east coast and from NYSC GA- a mid level team. Either the scouts are awful or our kids just are not even close to the rest, good nightOriginally posted by Guest View PostComment

The results of these YNTs indicate that the scouts are awful.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

Or that the club coaches are suggesting the wrong kids because of politics. You do know it starts with club coach recommendations. But if the kid doesn’t compare when they get on the field it doesn’t matter. Take politics out, let someone neutral look at the team- without the suggestions or “who to watch” from the coach. You will see a different list. Our state is a who knows whom state and it backfires when we present the wrong players for political reasons.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

Someone always thinks their kid was wrongfully ignored. The pucks aren't always right and that's why there are many one and dones, from all over not just the east coast. And yes, there isn't as much top talent here vs out west. Same with top D1 picks.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

It is pure politics and I do not believe my kid really belongs. SHe has done the YNT ID thing and she is a good, sometimes really good but not GREAT player at the moment. She has one teammate that is truly excellent and I cannot believe some of the kids who are going instead of this girl. I saw this years ago with politics and here again, it makes zero sense.Comment

Decent scouts should be able to watch a game and identify the talented players. If they need a coaches suggestion, they are simply not doing a good job, they are being lazy or the talent is simply not good enough to stand out.Comment

Perhaps the politics aren't at the YNT ID but within your club. On my kids club there are multiple players who start over players with more skill, IQ and athletisism, usually those kids have either been at the club forever and the parents are tied into the organization or friendly with the coach. It's great to have neutral scouts evaluate and select the players without parental influence. Most of the comments talking about politics from the YNT ID are likely from parents who no longer have the infuence they are used to.Comment

Club directors with connections to the YNT scouts and staff definitely trade favors. Getting kids to Chula Vista is a huge marketing bonus for them.Comment
