most of you all won't admit it, but across any of the leagues, each team has about 2-3 good/great players, maybe another 3 decent enough players and after that the talent drops off BY A LOT

you have low standards. my definition of a great player is 1/10000. (this is the odds for becoming a pro level player).

Speaking of the President, as the random question asks, how about we impeach him already!

There is no way to make money doing what you describe. If there was, then some one would do it. The money in girls and most boys youth soccer comes from the parents which explains why we have the system we have.

? of course there is a way to make money. you are adding a team to every club

Huh? Most teams do not have any great players. Those are very few and far between.

The money is made by having lots and lots of elite, number one teams for the parents to pay for. Much better to have one in every age group the just one.

Right. so when people say the USSF should have set up a league for the best of the best, what do they mean? The ECNL AND teh USSF should have collaborated and BOTH should have compromised to create a real pyramid.

instead egos led to what we have now. A REAL USSF leader would abolish the GDA in current form and build a better pathway involving all constituents.

ive suggested it before. ONE team per club. USSF can consult on training program/frequency etc. Any Club can have a GDA team if they meet certain standards. Failure to maintain them = expulsion.

Club can continue it bulk operation in whatever league(s) they want.

One team per club could work. GDA could start at U15, which is post-puberty for most girls. Each club would have to field teams in a consolidated second league, though. ECNL would cease to exist as a top league and therein lies the problem. The league and clubs do not care about creating a top of the pyramid opportunity for potential NT players. They care about owning an environment where they can field 2 teams per age group of parents paying $5k per year to shoot for college scholarships.

its not FOR NT players. Its for the best players and you dont have to do it.

Of course. There is very little financial incentive to find and develop female soccer talent. The financial incentive is in offering pricey competitive soccer to as many players as possible.

and ECNL not being top league is irrelevant surely.Every Club would have still have a top team if they wanted one.

Exactly. ECNL forcing clubs to play club vs club and insisting EVERY age group have a team waters down the league. Simply, its a money grab by ECNL. Cant say your the best when you have teams that dont belong, simply because you are forcing them to be there

You are missing the point. All the players that do not make that one team will leave and go to a club where they can be on a top team. No club will sacrifice those players and their fees so they create top teams for them all if possible. Dont you see that that is why we have so many bloated leagues and teams?

they can moneygrab all they want. in theory one top team per club would be a great reflection on development, playing style etc
