[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In europe, clubs are measured by how many youth players are signed to professional academies (clubs with pro teams at the top of the pyramid).

The second question is, did the player eventually get promoted to the reserves / U23 team or the first team? what was the value of their contract?

Measure ANY club around here like that and they will give you a blank look... well we have kids who play in college!!![/quote]

The average MLS salary is around $52K. The average NWSL is around $40K. The average salary of an entry level position with a college degree is around $54K. Hence, most parents are using soccer to get their DC into good/reputable colleges. Hence, clubs use college soccer, particularly D1 soccer, as a measure of their success. Unlike Football, basketball and baseball where the average salary is in the hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. [/quote]

That average is with the USSF-subsidized salary for all members of the USWNT correct?  To my understanding they're subsidized $33,000 and the Canadian federation players are subsidized $27,500.

I also see the NWSL player minimum is $22,000 while the maximum is $52,5000 and the team cap is $682,500.[/quote]

Contracted players have a base pay of $100,000 per year. There are also at least 22 players who are allocated to National Women's Soccer League teams. Tier 1 players -- of which there must be at least 11 -- make an additional $67,500 per year, while the Tier 2 players make $62,500 per year.

and take a look at how long they play.  My brother played pro 2-years post-college.

I was a straight A honor student on top team in the country where most of my teammates got scholarships to D1 schools.  Nobody went into the pros, nor had that desire.

A bunch are lawyers, engineers, etc.  Starting salaries much, much better and so are the retirement plans :lol: [/quote]
