I'm of the opinion we waste too much resources on some sports, that's hindrance in our soccer/futbol development imo.


The lack of development there starts at the youth level with our current youth club model. A model that 95% of the spots are out of the reach many who have a true passion for it. The model is a country club model design around winning and not youth development.

I don’t disagree with you but most youth sports programs are that way. Club/travel teams are the only way a lot of these sports are financially viable. Baseball/softball, swim, volleyball, cheer, gymnastics, soccer all seem to follow that model. What’s the alternative that gets the kids exposed to the best competition in the region? And COVID19 has put the hurt on these programs as well.
