[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the current method for scouting usynt players:

PLAYER SELECTION

Players are discovered through two main pathways. Talent Identification Managers lead all selections.
Process of scouting by U.S. Soccer at games and/or events.
Coach or Club Director Recommendation.

Is this the best method, or is there another way…such as open tryouts?  This is just one suggestion, but looking for other ideas.  Right now, the po
Icy seems only to look for most athletic kid, kid with biggest kick, fastest kid.

I don’t think this is a completely fair assessment. Assurming similar technical skills, the faster, stronger player will be selected even though there is a likelihood that they are early grower and closer to their physical peak.

For a smaller, skilled player to be selected, they need to have quickness that is on par or faster than the bigger, faster kids.

Quickness/ reaction time combined with agility is what scouts look for.
Unfortunately that is pretty hard to find in open tryouts.

So I think open tryouts should be an option, I’m all for club recommendations. That’s why I say go to a club where the coach and club thinks ur kid has potential. [/quote]

What would open tryouts look like?[/quote]
A payday for US Soccer. But who cares its about giving all players an opportunity to be seen.[/quote]

So you’re proposing open tryouts like ODP?[/quote]
Whatever works.

At the very least cut out the corruption.[/quote]

I don’t think any of you really understand how good you have to be to make a youth national team camp. [/quote]
Is that the reason why so many are passed over for Talent IDs?

Being good is fine but theres no reason others should be shut out of the opportunity.[/quote]

So you’re talking about players that are not good enough to make a youth national team camp but are good enough to make a national team local training center? If you’re not good enough to make a national team camp then who cares? [/quote]
