[quote=Anonymous]Pay to play, no clear pathway, individual coaches incentivized to retain players rather than push them up the nonexistent structure, lack of expansive profitable professional club structure. Most of these big soccer countries have a higher concentration of professional clubs, a clear path from local clubs to the higher tier professional clubs, no/minimal fees, etc. US soccer hasn’t done a great job of teaching what is necessary for the young kids to learn or in creating a structure to nurture players in the absence of professional clubs. There are no regional pathways (rec club - advanced/local travel - travel - professional), everything is super expensive, clubs are suckered into far flung prohibitive travel when it is not necessary. Parents are left to pay, figure out what coach is okay, figure out which club, etc. [/quote]
