here is my rant.
Probably some good coaches scattered throughout. For example, in San Diego area Surf recruits, but does little to develop on the girls side. (probably the same throughout the other clubs). But, then again do any clubs really focus on development? I think a few coaches do...most don't and clubs do not.
The problem is that the parents place their daughters on Surf or SoCal Blues, because they believe that is the best team, and she must be on the best team in order to be good. That is a product of parents having never played the sport and not being able to identify bad/good coaching....and because Surf/Blues will pull in all the talent, good players at other clubs are left wihout any competition on their team. Now, those other players have to join that surf/blues team, have a huge gap in playing level on their team, or play a year up. If a club could keep some good players together and win, I have no doubt that parents would believe that team is now better than surf/blues and their daughter must play there.
Other clubs have their own issues. In general, I view the problem with soccer in the usa (not as a problem with pay to play like everyone complains, but play to win). too much emphasis on winning, because that is how you recruit kids. For example, playing kids in set positions when they are age 7...benching players at young age groups...etc..makes no sense to me. There are 13 year olds that have only played one position their whole life. Would be great to see a club create a development program and have all the coaches train the same concepts...and work on those concepts throughout the age groups...and focus on development instead of winning (can still play competitively..just a different focus). But that will never happen...because that is not how you recruit kids, clubs encourage coaches to play to win bc that brings in more kids, and parents/coaches believe they are good coaches if they win games.
No clubs here have any identity or system...its just scattered coaching styles and play to win.
