What age group?

There was a thread a few months ago about transitioning a rec team into academy leagues:

I would suggest of not doing an outdoor club,, get a really really big size facility and do everything indoor.

Give the guy a break. He is using a nice avatar.

By the way, did you ever consider how many independent contractors were killed when the 2nd death star was destroyed?

This is from a previous post and pretty much hits the nail on the head...

"It's more than just qualifications, pro experience, USSF/UEFA/NSCAA licenses etc...to do it successfully as an independent in ntx requires a massive time commitment and incredible patience. For one, you're going to have to do everything the big club coaches are doing...meaning multiple nights a week and most weekends are committed to your team. Year round.

For two, you're going to have to develop your own players because you won't get the steady stream showing up at your doorstep to replace the ones you cut...which means you'll need to invest even more time into those falling behind.

For three, you're going to need superior people skills than big club coaches because no matter how good your original core, you'll still need to recruit if you want to remain competitive at older ages.

It's a massive sacrifice and I can't imagine many people with all the necessary qualities would do it for free considering there is huge demand in NTX for the skill set. Once the big clubs are convinced you're good, and your girls are good, there's very little incentive for a coach to turn the inevitable offers down.

The ones that remain independent for the sake of their players, and do it successfully, are doing it the hard way and should be celebrated."

One last thing to add, is that there will be attrition. Set expectations up front with parents and players and reinforce, reinforce, reinforce throughout the year. You will have some players and parents who will fall out who thought they were ready for the commitment and they won't be.
