[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, NWSL is growing.  No, there isn't money to be put towards fully funded academies just yet.  Yes, NWSL is paying attention to youth players.

Rarely do any of us know what goes on behind the scenes at these clubs.  NWSL clubs invite non-roster players all the time to train with them, even young 13 year olds like Gotham FC did recently, and before that plenty of other players.

I'm sure they understand that they need a way to manage this, but I doubt its high on their priority at the moment.  Sports are indeed changing with NIL deals and money being involved at the college level.  These things will sort themselves out over time.  Look at the NFL even, imagine being a player like Brock Purdy who shows out on the field as a pro yet is paid less than some college athletes.  Sports in this country will go through some growing pains but the path will be sorted out eventually.

I've provided two examples where the head of NWSL has stated that "investing in youth" is a priority.

You talk and spew hot air. Shut up and admit that NWSL is going to somehow get involved with youth girls soccer.[/quote]

People say things. Money speaks. Until we see real academies, it's all empty talk. [/quote]
