[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, the boys really get started on their pathway at 4 years old in other countries around the world. By 8 years old, your fate has already been decided if you will be accepted into a professional academy or not. So the 5-6-7-8 years, kids are eating, sleeping, and breathing soccer. Much of their progress just happens playing the game or training at home with a parent or sibling, or in the local neighborhood. If you don't get into a big academy, you get a few years as a last chance to get a foot in the door, and certainly by U12, you pretty much know where you stand. to say you will START the process at U12 is ridiculous. Adding on top of that, the players are middling and wouldn't have even been selected for anything significant at U9 anyway. $$$ though and selling the brand...[/quote]
