Be prepared for some more change coming out of the US.
How will this affect Canadian Youth Soccer?
While the Americans continually re-re-re-re-invent the American wheel of player development, Canadian youth soccer continues to trudge along failure after failure with little to no change.
Reyna outlines plans for US youth soccer - World Soccer - Yahoo! Sports
Claudio Reyna, newly hired US soccer youth technical director, talked before the USMNT game vs Czech Republic tonight.
He stressed that a nationwide plan for developing talent would eventually boost U.S. fortunes throughout the sport, from youth teams through high school, college and the pros.
It appears that USSF will release its curriculum later this summer.
It will concentrate on three levels: Zone 1 (under-6 to under-12), Zone 2 (12 to 18) and Zone 3 (elite players, including colleges and professionals).
It will be interesting to see how close it is to the Canadian "Wellness to World Cup" - if at all!
Sounds like changes to the USSDA is on the horizon and could be for Super Y League.
Super Y league will be changing in BC next season. Word on the street is that the Provincial Program will cease and the players will play in a BC Y League instead operated by BC Soccer and the Whitecaps. Not everyone is in agreement although most clubs will be ecstatic with the dissolving of the BC Program in the present form.
