Further evidence that the United States has a culture of leagues and not a culture of clubs. The idea that there is a unified national platform is pure smoke. Harboring team-based leagues and club-based leagues under one roof does not create a unified platform. players and families are still being trained to value “elite” leagues over the club to which they belong. The only way to solve this problem is for @ussoccer to create a single national team-based league with many regional divisions and subdivisions and promotion/relegation. Hard? Yes. But NASA just sent the Artemis II astronauts to the moon. How hard can killing off the elite leagues be? The quality of youth soccer in the United States and the development of American youth players will not improve until we have a culture of clubs. Like it or not, there is a silent war going on and it is between clubs and elite leagues.

Yes and no. The clubs that control the market that get all of the talent can get away with murder because they don’t actually have to coach. They don’t develop anyone. They just acquire the best talent. Gatekeepers of a closed system. Tells more of the story.
