I agree with that. Also there are too many venues and leagues for the premier soccer player anymore. From u16 - u18 you have premier league, ECNL, ODP, Tournaments. There's no focus on developement, training, conditioning anymore, the focus is just on how many games you can play. If you ask any "REAL" qualified director or coach what makes an athlete succesful they'll tell you it's the time spent on the practice field. I've seen over the past few years the emphasis of these clubs and organizations is only to make money. When we first started playing premier the cost was around $75 a month, if we would of played this year it was $225 per month. When we first started in ODP regional camp was around $395, it is now over $700. The only way youth soccer will get back to development of youths playing soccer is to get rid of the directors of these organizations who only see dollar signs. They've lost their focus.
