[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]U14[/quote] A club prioritizing winning at U14 should lose their accreditation [/quote] My bet is Bethesda or SYC.[/quote] It's most likely ASA. Their coaching is terrible. Due to performance and other shenanigans, they might lose their MLS next status, as it happened to their GA status.[/quote] What do people mean when they say a club focuses on winning? Is it by the style of their play (kickball)? That they don’t play their subs so those kids never get developed? Or that they take new already developed kids every year instead of bringing up their second team? Are we implying that winning clubs aren’t developing the players?[/quote] If your MLS Next club maximizes the quota of 3 Bio-banded kids on all their teams, even the older teams, then they are clearly about winning over development. Based on the number of kids available to Bethesda in each age group at the club, there is absolutely no reason to have 3 Bio-banded players on every MLS Next team.[/quote] We’ve played BSC this season and I don’t really notice any biobanded players though. I mean we played a competitive game. Isn’t it only an issue if the additional biobanded players means they are blowing everyone out of the park? They aren’t though. So I don’t know if anyone but the club players should care too much. [/quote] How did you address the point being made? If you're not blowing people out the water or winning, doesn't mean your program isn't focused on winning. Why with all the kids available in each age group, why would Bethesda need 3 biobanded kids on every team?[/quote] Ok, I see ur point. Instead of biobanding, they should put in what they have so they can develop. Having biobanded players just keep them competitive. As an outsider who wants competitive matches, I don’t mind the bio banding. But if I were at the club, I guess it would be annoying. It is def not like that at DS club. [/quote]
