[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weston McKennie comes to mind.  He's definitely world class.  Of course, the US is so far behind, and its problems are ongoing, but eliminating high school soccer in favor of year round development is one of many needed moves.  [/quote]

No need to eliminate HS soccer. People have a choice now and eliminating choices to serve the few is not the answer. While HS soccer may not
be for the elite of the elite it is fun for a large segment of our youth. As far as having better men’s national teams the only changes that matter are more money, an increased US culture Interested in pro soccer careers, and better coaching / coach development. Only then will we have hope of competing with top echelon of countries.  [/quote]

I meant eliminating high school soccer from the top tier of players.  It serves a good purpose, and I think all soccer programs have their place, from top to bottom.  I should have been more clear.  Thank you for the qualification. [/quote]

Choosing to play HS soccer is a choice. Those kids are choosing not to play top level soccer. Making that choice is a factor regarding how you challenge yourself. US Soccer won’t pick those kids to invest in. Do you get mad at Harvard who does not pick your kid who choose to not take the hardest classes? It’s the same thing.[/quote]

Yes, we are saying the same thing and are in complete agreement. [/quote]
