[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In Europe and in some other football countries, clubs can get compensated for pushing up a 16 17 18-year-old to a pro team and signing a contract. It's prestigious for the club and it goes on their brag board. If they sell the player on, they get compensated for it.

Here no such thing exists so there's no incentive except maybe how many players went off to college to play. But another country is what you do is you try to push as many of the top 12, 13, 14 year olds up to u16 to accelerate them. again that economic instead of does not exist here so we don't do it nearly as much.[/quote]

I would say in all, not some, football countries, exceptional and early bloomers are played (up) to their abilities from way before 16 years old.
Possible compensation down the road is always a wish on the radar, but the early development of the player is priority (or there is no pot of gold at end of rainbow)

A lot of the grass roots clubs get respect more than payouts of substance for their development efforts U-Little to U12
They do it for the love of the game
