I agree with Glory Dayz that the youth program is not the major problem right now. We even have some decent talents. The biggest issue, as mentioned by others, is that we just simply don't have our best athletes going into soccer.
Imagine if guys like Reggie Bush or any elite athlete grew up playing nothing but soccer. As a teacher I look at the my school and see a lot of kids into soccer, both watching and playing. That being said, most of the kids playing are not the best athletes in the town. Not even close.
I don't mean those kids any disrespect because a number of them are good players. We have a handful of fantastic athletes that are in football, baseball, or lacrosse. If those kids grew up playing soccer I have no doubt they would be the pillars of that sport for our town.
