Over the past year it seems like the quality is dropping off quickly. I coach at two age groups and I am around HS soccer and this spring has been especially poor. I'm not sure what the reason is or how they can address it, but the more coaches that I speak with they all seem to think there's been a decline in quality as well. My personal opinion is especially at the younger age groups your getting $24 an hour. That's 50k a year if it was a full time job. So it's not like they are not fairly compensated. They need to step up and do the best they can. It's pretty bad when 9, 10, 11 & 12 year old kids are waiting to see who show up because they already know who's does a fair job and who does not.
