[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Why can't we develop 20 kids out of the millions of kids that are playing?[/b]

Aside from the pay "big bucks" to play system. It is partly because we don't have enough good coaches who truly understand the game.  We joined a local DA program mainly because of a Coach with a great resume/reputation, however, said Coach left for another local program over the summer....so now we are suffering with the replacement coach who clearly does not belong at this level.  We have literally been outscored something like 20-1 in the last month or so, and can barely compete.  Despite loosing most of the season so far, the Coach has not changed anything with his approach/tactics.  I could argue my kid is almost regressing at the DA level because of inept coaching.

Please name these clubs, how else will parents make decisions with incomplete information, let the club's compete in an efficient market.[/quote]

Kids playing rec soccer will not develop into professional soccer players. It is not really the same sport as Travel/club soccer. The club system in this country only captures those players who can pay. The club system misses many potentially great players because the club is not making money developing/selling players. In other countries(Europe, Latin America, etc), the club scouts are every where looking for player. They know about the 6 or 7 year old who show a talent for soocer. These kids are watched, recruited and given formal training with the hope that they will develop and their contracts will be sold for money. [/quote]

A. Who doesn't start as a recreational player? If they're discovered at age 6, where were they playing at age 5? ("Street soccer" is recreational, too.)

B. What can you tell about a player at age 6?[/quote]
