[quote=Anonymous]Playing up is standard practice in Academy soccer because the end product is the best player possible at the youngest age possible. With pay to play the goal is to maximize profits for the club. To do this you want as many players playing for as long as possible. Take a step back and think about it. If there was a 14 year old boy that could score at will against 18+ year old opponents. What would happen? They’d get identified, recruited to a MLSN team, and if they continued to do well would eventually play on a professional MLS team. Now take the exact same situation but the player was female. They’d get recruited to the top girls club in the area, they might play up but it’s not common, and they’d get prepared by the club to get recruited to play for a too college soccer team. The question is why are talented girls treated differently than talented boys? [/quote]
