Soccer youth development is a minefield, I wonder what the articles of Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch, and French academies would say.

Sounds very much like what a free system could turn into.  Currently we have to pay to play, but as customers we have the expectation of a certain type of service(training/coaching).  I see how parents would be powerless once they sign for the son's to join an academy.  The 'training centers' probably looked good on paper, but you can see how clubs have taken advantage of the loophole and tried to hold on to players they are unsure of, but don't want another club to scoop them up or worse see something they themselves couldn't and sign the player.
