No one has cracked the code for producing elite professional players—until now. The NEXT generation starts here! 🔥⚽

If ur being sarcastic u doing a poor job. Otherwise it’s wild how ignorant you are. Literally all of Europe and South America do this for a living. Ironically, it’s in those places where YOUTH soccer ain’t a business and only the truly best get to enter the system and then get developed by experts. I’d sit this one out, if I were you.

Bonus point: explain how a teenager like Lamine Yamal already has a national European cup with Spain and a few domestic titles before turning 18 if “ No one in the world has figured out how to develop high level professional players”

Quality of play should be an add on and not replace results in my opinion.

Ball size 4 for u13 is good

QoP should absolutely be the priority benchmark for U13 & U14—it directly addresses the one thing kids in this age bracket have no control over—puberty.

Many teams stack their attack with players that are 5’9-6+ feet tall, who can shell opposing teams from 20 yards outside the box, or muscle their way past a 4’10, 5’1, etc. midi or defender. That advantage melts away by the time U15/U16 rolls around.

So why give credit for what amounts to kids that have tall parents?

From my understanding, unlike Trace, a live person is the one that records and rates the plays in Taka. Do you think it reflects what Trace captures? Except for the occasional missed player, I do think Taka finds less highlights than Trace. However it does find some highlights that Trace misses (especially the ones where numbers aren’t super clear).

Whats the value of scoreboard results in your opinion?

Isn't scoring more than the opponent the objective of the team?

Not in a system with real youth coaches focused on teaching your kid to be a better player

What system?? I guess that is the issue MLSN is inventing a system.

The game is simple: team A faces Team B and within the rules of the game one side tries to outscore the other side. Same in basketball or volleyball.

QoP is a scouting thing?

Yes, the QoP for individual plays is factored into the QoP for the team so the data is there to at least use stats as a screening tool. I imagine this is the most controversial part for parents, that the data is there but they don’t have control over how it’s shared and how it’ll be used.

I thought people subscribed to have their own individual Taka account?

Yes, and if u do, u can choose which highlights u want public or not. But u don’t have access to the actual ratings of your player or your team or how the QoP of your team was based on.

MLSNext teams are required to give videos of their games to MLSNext. So you can’t opt out your player from being rated by Taka.

Taka is just another addition to the existing elements used to evaluate players.
It's not going to replace them.

+1 I believe that is the case as well.l although what are the existing elements as you know them?
