[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of them aren’t going to college to play D1 soccer - I know the D3 school “commitments” allow some of these clubs to save face, but I mean, come on. That’s just a commitment to pay out of your ass for a school the kid probably would have gotten into anyway. [/quote]

Most professional club players don't make the first team either. It comes down to what is the end goal. For the youth clubs around here, it is to make money. They have the best chance of doing that by giving most customers what they want which is to get them to play college, whether they can achieve it or now. Until the customers change their mind or the entire system does, then you will continue to see clubs doing everything they can to make their teams the most successful at putting kids in college. A side effect of that is typically individual players matter more than "team" players. I don't like it either but it is the reality.[/quote]

People advocating for teams over individuals have weaker players and want them to ride the coattails of strong teammates to the medal 🏅 and trophies stand.
