Or they scout them at tournaments. Top level talent gets identified pretty fast. You are using FC Dallas which is an outlier of how academy's are run.
And these players playing at their tournaments that FC Dallas (or Atlanta United or Houston Dynamo, etc.) play on teams not affiliated with MLS clubs. And they are paying fees to play for those clubs.
Look, if we could do it, I'm all for eliminating pay-to-play youth soccer. I just don't see the revenue required to pay every club soccer coach coming from any source other than the parents!
No one pays to play youth soccer in Spain because enough people pay money to watch professional soccer in Spain. There is enough revenue to make it so.
There is not enough revenue associated with professional soccer in order to pay youth soccer coaches!

The world cup is in the US once every 40 years or so. Not sure we can count on that either.
The USSF makes money off every World Cup from multi revue streams, regardless if we qualify or not.
Perhaps, but not enough to make youth soccer free to all.

Correct, now if these teams can get paid for the players they develop then we can move away from that. But USSF will not allow it.

Travel teams that are not MLS affiliated could pay coaches and for stuff if they got their fair pay or if USSF actually invested in them. Instead USSF takes money from the.
