[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on age group every year. No region is stronger top to bottom except Southwest.

I dosages with this.  Southwest and Texas are ALWAYS the top 2.   And I would say SE, Ohio , and NW are always at the bottom.  Look at nationals/playoff qualification.  Look at national team call ups. Look at college recruitment.  I'd argue that most of it is due to player pool/population size[/quote]

I'd argue it's mostly cultural/weather. NE has plenty of population but it's spread out across a ton of sports/interests and the weather sucks a large majority of the year. SW/Texas can be outside for the full year (RIP that Texas summer heat though) and have a population that loves soccer.

And to keep the argument going the North Atlantic is far better than the Mid Atlantic at almost every age group.[/quote]
This is correct.

In Socal if players, coaches, and parents had infinite money and time the could do tournaments and friendlies every weekend of the year. Combine that with 4 days a week practices and on Friday/Sunday nights kids can do latin leagues or futsal.

Here's another thing about Socal. You hear about all the big MLSN, GA, ECNL clubs but theres literally 100s of smaller clubs that participate in leagues you never hear about. The big clubs keep an eye on this teams and other teams that they  play against looking to recruit talent.

Finally when you play a top Socal team often you're playing against a superteam of all the best players from 4-5 other teams. I realize a lot of clubs do this but in Socal theres just so much more talent bubbleing up to top teams. [/quote]
