Wow. Too many youth soccer organizations what's the need for so many?



That is the million dollar question that USYSA has been asking the last few years. And I think the answer is simple; power and money. US Club was started because of a difference in power. US Club wanted a single teams and clubs to have all the power and USYSA was organized around state organizations and then clubs to have the power. And the DA in my opinion was started because USSoccer saw the money that the State Organizations and Clubs where amassing and wanted in on some of that action so they started the DA. It is amazing the money that flows through Club soccer and parents do not think twice about it. Personally I think it is because it is one of the few club sports that allows both men and women to compete and train at an equal level under one roof, which has doubled the money and demographics for the sport at the club level...
