[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With an incompetent national federation, generally ignorant populace, tiny professional structure that is spread over a massive geographical area, and an infrastructure of local neighborhood clubs controlling fields this is where we are stuck. Lots of competing “elite” money grab leagues with coaches and administrators looking out for their paychecks over the good of the players and actual development.

There should be regionalized competitive structure with a defined pathway for players (local neighborhood rec - local travel - regional travel) where coaches actively push players to the appropriate level, but instead coaches cling to players that can win them games. The extra long travel component that has developed over the past 10 years is ridiculous, especially in an area like this. Time and cost are out of control. [/quote]

Add to this that part of the problem is parents.  They want an ROI for all this training which is competing even at u8.  If they cannot cheer and see their kids score goals then it's just not worth the investment.  I guarantee if you have 2 programs, 1 with the best trainers in the world with no tournament/league play at young ages and another with parent coaches and kids competing weekly and as many tournaments as possible.  Guess which ones we choose.
