Politics, politics, politics!

Is actually based on youthsoccerrankings algorithm across the U13-19 age groups with adjustments made for things like how many YNT players or impact college players are produced by the club. It's largely transparent. One could argue quibble with some things, but I don't see anything ridiculously out of order.
 
blues don’t develop players.

they recruit very well.
Maybe players don;t need to be "developed" so much? Maybe their already good and just need to get better? If you add all of the Gaffers state Cup Championships from U9-12 then Blues is the clear #1 club in the country. They use an "eye" to scout their players and never use "access" as way to develop their top players. Development is a sexy word that mean less these days. Look at all the greats who have played soccer throughout history. They were the ones who "developed"and "invented" all the moves everyone is copying at all these private training sessions with make believe defenders as cones. Those stupid cones don;t move or yell or grab you and say horrible things to your face when the ref is up the field. Let these girls be free and create new moves and new skills by allowing them to play FREE!!!!!!!

Yes that’s what I’m saying. They identify.

They don’t develop. They scout very well and then win mayors and governors.

Then when they hit the youngest ECNL or DA age level, the SCDSL team is dissolved, and they go through another round of tryouts to add players to the group they didn’t cut. The remaining players play flight 1 or flight 2 SCDSL.



blues SCDSL teams are neglected and forgotten about.

Each older blues player I’ve seen has tremendous athleticism and ball skill. Their decision making is very poor and in game IQ and problem solving is low.
Financially the club is a mess.

BUT good lord those older teams are competitive
 
The ranking is trying to measure how well they identify and develop the top end of U13-U18 players.

It isn’t trying to measure development in the U7-U12 years, or even development of bench players on the top older teams.

So, if your kid is scoring 2 goals per game in DA/ECNL, go ahead and worry about the list.

For the rest of us, there are better ways to evaluate a club.
 
blues don’t develop players.

they recruit very well.

What recruit 5-10 year olds? it's not like they are recruiting all star players. They recruit girls that are athletes. The ones that have a chance of making it later. Just look at the WMNT. And tell me if they have non athletes. The reality is folks, that if your daughter is not an athlete to begin with, fast, strong and quick they will never go far no matter how well they develop. Wake up folks... In order to churn out top players they gotta be athletes first.
 
All these clubs that preach development first over winning are full of B/S. If they can get the players the Blues pick up, they'd be all over them. Problem is they can't pick them up so they use that excuse when they lose...they think they are gonna develop non athletes and take them far in soccer. LMAO wishful thinking
 
How good is the Blues older girls program? Looking at their DA records and standings:

DA U15 5-2-4 6 of 14 in the SW
DA U16 4-4-3 9 of 14 in the SW
DA U17 8-0-3 3 of 14 in the SW
DA U18/19 0-9-2 13 of 14 in the SW

Their older ECNL teams are doing very well and maybe it's because most of the girls want to play HS so they play ECNL instead but it's hard to compare ECNL to DA if they don't play each other. So are the Blues considered good because they do well in ECNL or that they are one of the few clubs that has both DA and ECNL?

That’s a great question and I hope someone can give us an answer. Unfortunately, I don’t have a daughter playing with the Blues so I couldn’t answer that question. But I was really speaking in general terms for clubs that have winning programs. It’s not like they are recruiting 5 year old all stars but athletes that have the potential to go far. How fast are they? How well do they move? Do they have quickness, stamina, mental toughness. All the things that athletes have in common. They are the ones that are sending the best players to the top colleges. Bottom line is that if you wish your little daughter to get far in soccer, she better be an athlete first that has developed technical skills. But not the other way around. That’s not to say that no other little girl deserves to play soccer either but they have to have the goods first before having a chance to make it far in the sport. Wether the Blues are the best at doing it or not, it’s a matter of opinion but you can’t deny how consistent they have been in always producing top players and sending them out to the top colleges.

Women that play soccer at the highest level are all athletes first and soccer players second. D421C127-B7A5-4BAE-9148-F4C0FC0CF9D2.jpegA06E26BE-77FE-45D4-88BA-17F55572E894.jpeg55AF3615-5EC0-404D-A0D2-F4304CD34E2C.jpeg
 
No one is saying they don’t get athletes with potential.


no one is saying a grown man going to AYSO U7 games to recruit the best players for blues isn’t allowed.

Once they are there...the IQ NEVER CHANGES. The problem solving is at such a low level...

interesting you bring up USWNT.

our U17s (three girls on that team from
Blues)got blown apart in last U17s WC. Our U20s got blown apart last u20 World Cup.

so something isn’t going right...

Maybe

just maybe...everyone else is catching up with resources and athleticism and can actually play this game instead of just kicking it to their “athletes”.
