[quote=Anonymous]- The "turf war", first between ECNL and Girls DA and now between ECNL and GA, is extremely counterproductive. To produce the best talent you need to have the best against the best as much as possible. We need a more unified system. - I don't think it's realistic to expect clubs to put player development over results. Their business model is based on keeping the customers (aka parents) happy. And that means winning games. - Don't all youth sports in the US focus on results? I doubt there are many high school football coaches giving playing time to an undersized QB so that the team can compete for the title in 3 years. - I would imagine NWSL clubs will start creating their own academies and the league will implement homegrown rules similar to what MLS uses. Their goals would be more about player development vs. results and those would be the players who would end up on the national team. So that could be a positive. [/quote]
