But there are only one or two good teams. Why reward the 5th team that barely breaks 500? Only the first or second teams have a chance. |
Have a chance at what? Nobody has a chance. VDA was the only club in MA to have teams advance out of the group stage last year. The division is weak! |

Nobody cares. Not about this discussion. Rather, about whether x team wins or loses. Whoever “wins” MLSNEXT or ECNL this year will be forgotten within 30 days. Can you name who won last year? No one cares. And - that’s not the point. Play the games to work on becoming better players in a team concept. It’s all about getting better.
Can it be done without playing on a high level club? Yes - but it is very very rare. Easier for girls as a good player can still play with guys as a kid. Sanchez just proved that. |
The highlight here is, learning to become a better player in a TEAM CONCEPT. |
Learning to be better player is about the individual and the coaching at youth level. |
I don't doubt that you're correct coming off of some coaching manual or ideology from who knows where but I'm not sure if that is a good thing as kids get older and then need to learn how to play as a team. |
You're then mixing up development vs performance. There are levels to this thing. |
