[quote=Anonymous]Actually the DA operates at a loss (for the USSF).  You can check the US Soccer book of records and financial statements. I am sure it does ok for the DA clubs, but for USSF it is a loss leader aimed at building better NTs. Not sure it is working / will work, but it is their attempt none the less. Also- if you do the math not many clubs nor coaches are making much money off of youth soccer. They are at least making a living and not having to work a 9-5 desk job, but that's about it. The real motivation behind the leagues and clubs is ego and pride (along with love of soccer). They want to win and puff their chests. They want to put more kids into college programs and puff their chests. Nothing wrong with that really.

Now, the ancillary sports apparel / equipment and sports entertainment industry LOVES youth sports, including soccer. Travel firms, sports complex venues, hotels, restaurants, Nike, Puma, Adidas … they all LOVE youth sports.  That's where the [i]real[/i] money is. Coaching and running a club or league … not so much.[/quote]
