Definitely the DA needs to shrink and get all the bad teams and bad players out.. conentrate more on the kids with talent. You can tell by age 12 and 13... some kids just don’t belong. Some teams just don’t belong. And some clubs just don’t belong. Instead of casting a wider net to catch more fish ( mediocre talent ), how about just going after the lobster ( excellent talent and I.Q. ). And promotion and relegation will work, cause teams who are just big and fast and play long ball who’s coach is just out to win and does not develop WILL NOT BEAT ANY QUALITY DA TEAM. LAFC is a good example of development.

LAFC teams are overpowering with a mix of small and tall kids.

Ussoccer needs more scouts. Not just ordinary scouts but good scouts, and a hell of a lot more. USA is huge way bigger than Europe. And then these scouts need to stop focusing on size and speed as if that’s all you need. They need to focus on first touch, techniques, and quality. Stop going after what they think is potential and start going after the gifted.. and we all seen the gifted kid. The one who never falters in a game.. hardly makes mistakes. Doesn’t crack under pressure. Makes it all look easy. Every move is smo. So smooth that is effortless for him or her while another kid struggles. Every pass every touch over and over again a thousand games.. knows the rules better than the refs.. out smarts his opponents.. so quick on restarts.. gains every opportunity for his or her team. It’s not the flashy kid. It’s the unoticed kid. It’s the kid that can play every position likes he or she’s been playing it their whole life. Its inate. No questions asked. It’s not the kid who powers every shot over the crossbar and we all say “Oh that was close!!” It’s the kid who slots it in the corner just outside the goalie’s grasp. That’s the kid you want.
