Clearly some of the clubs are good at developing players. How else do any of these girls become YNT and P5 college?[/quote]

People are overestimating how much players are “found” and “developed” by clubs. Its not like club coaches are finding kids with raw undeveloped talent playing on dirt fields and teach them the game.

We’re talking about a large population of parents with a lot of resources that get their kids private trainers, camps, equipment, strength and mental fitness  programs, winter futsal, and the academic resources that allows them to be accepted to highly competitive colleges and afford the high tuition. The development is mostly done individually and outside the club with parent resources. Most every one of these local girls going to P5 schools has been doing all this external development since they were 12 years old. Many have moved clubs one or more times.

I know because my DD is part of it and I see what everyone else on the team is doing including her. The clubs role in all this is to facilitate the connections and opportunities to play in front of college coaches.
