Which clubs have history of recruiting other clubs players year round. Does it work out well for those that jump clubs typically. How is honoring early commitment during early tryouts. When is too late to switch clubs.

A lot of top players practice with other teams throughout the year to see if the club/team would want them should they choose to jump. It’s not necessarily the club recruiting. For the big clubs (ECNL/MLSNext), often times, players who are interested come to them. All clubs will take top players any time during the year.

We know of a few small clubs that will approach parents of other teams. The clubs we’ve been with frown upon that behavior (they believe parents should make first contact).

I think this is more coach driven than club driven. There are 4 coaches on the girls side in the area that seem to attract players from other clubs more often than others.

Nader from Union
Bobby P. from FCV
Mikey from VDA
Nick from Loudoun / NVA

These coaches gotta have good teams first. Each have their own mega teams from different years. Makes sense

DCU across all age groups is 3-3-2 at the Super Cup. If they actually were about development, that would be fine…but they are just a terrible club through-and-through.

The whole landscape is recruiting. No coaches even attempt to develop kids, they just recruit. It's ridiculous.

Recruiting=Wins. Parents want wins makes kids happy and good for IG. More wins increase $$$ revenue at the club that only sells pathways. Lower team enrollment at the U-Little ages increases and more color teams are added, parents think “these guys win they are doing something right” thereby subsidizing the recruiting for the team(s) their kid has no shot of ever play for and it continues.

No, not specifically. All of the big-name clubs in this industry.
