[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a great discussion. I don't know of any of the big clubs that really develop players from the ground up. I think most try to focus on producing winning teams at u16 and older. Those teams produce college players and YNT players, which attracts more kids and money. Bethesda and Pipeline are the only successful teams I know who tend to have players from their youth teams move up to the older clubs. FCV doesn't and I doubt you will find more than four or five players.[/quote]

This is another easy and tired trope that clubs don't develop players. They certainly do, it's just that players move on more than in the past. The real reason players are so transient is the huge number of options available, and the constant push to play on the best teams.[/quote]

Former Pipeline parent here.  I'm telling you-- they do not develop players, they do not develop teams.  And it's no wonder, because they have parent coaches with no training throughout their ranks. The teams are made up of a ruling elite class who hang around due to nepotism and god knows what other favors and then they poach all-stars from other organizations like there mini-hunting trophies. Their winning record will fizzle out in time. This is the most toxic organization we've ever seen.[/quote]
