[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly does it mean to be awarded this prestigious Top Club by ECNL? Does it mean my DD will become a better soccer player if she joins these clubs? She'll get a college scholarship? Some people are just so desperate/gullible. I guess that's why all these top lists exist.[/quote]

Seriously. [b]Not to mention, what kind of dumb people run a league where they want to publish a list to highlight a small number of their members as being superior to the rest of their members?[/b][/quote]

Ahh...really any sort of competitive league?  Geez.  What do you want, everyone to get a medal or an award?  Why have playoffs?  Heck, why even keep score if no one should be superior to the rest?  Come on...[/quote]

Facepalm/eyeroll not enough for that previous dumb comment. Agree completely.[/quote]

What do get out of having a youth team “superior to the rest “?? A professional contract with a top European team ? Prize money when you win? Media coverage and fame ? Big fat salary transfer to your DDs account every week ? Until then keep getting busy with nonsense. [/quote]

If these are the reasons you have your daughter or son in youth sports, you are the problem.[/quote]
No, they are absolutely right - It is ‘nonsense’. It’s just dumb content for social media, marketing, etc. Like everything these clubs post on social media, dumb content - hype videos, media day pics, uniform reveals, public “thank yous” to colleges, hype, hype, hype…and no beef. No highlighting of the training and techniques that actually is their product. Probably because they all claim to be serving Wagyu Filets and are handing out Salisbury Steak.[/quote]
You have an interesting take on US youth soccer. Did you know that through u14 US players are fairly even with European players? What changes at u14 and above we maintain the status quo while European acadamies weed out players. What ends up happening is fewer and few players get more and more resources put into their development. Out here its the same amount of players as u14 and the same amount of resources.

US club development isnt worse or bad it’s just less focused.[/quote]
I don’t agree, at all, with the premise or any part of your post. U14 US players may be able to get on the pitch w/ players from Europe or South America (South America has a few players too, but many of you somehow never acknowledge that) and get a result but that in no way, shape or form means the development is equal.
