[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The trouble is selecting a club for a U8 player doesn't guarantee anything by U18. First of all, most clubs don't do a great job across the board, they all have pockets where they are good, or great, and they have others where they are ass. Secondly, so much changes in youth soccer every year, that in the span of 10 years, a club can easily go from juggernaut to obselete, and vice versa.  If you are really going to do this right, you need to evaluate the situation every single year and make an explicit decision.[/quote]

So, don't you agree that this should change, and that if more families looked for a rebuts curriculum DMV as a gap in the soccer community, it would be better for development?[/quote]

There is little doubt that if parents were smart enough to recognize a good curriculum that the clubs providing it would thrive. And for the most part, this happens. The clubs reviewed above are among the best. The trouble with all of them, is that they struggle to remain consistent with it. There are lots of reasons. There is a significant shortage of quality coaching. Good U8 coaches are not necessarily good U15 coaches. There is often a lack of integrity in club management. Pay to play youth soccer has a built in conflict of interest between generating income and providing  great coaching. That generally means alot of turnover. The reality is you have to re-evaluate your club every year as a result.[/quote]

Finally, something helpful and not condescending. Thank you [/quote]
