We recognize that Ottosport/Demosphere is again creating frustrations for the teams trying to access their schedules, and we are working hard to correct the problem.

Imagine for a moment that you run a support business for youth sports leagues that primarily operate on weekends. Then imagine your services typically break down on weekends. and your client support only team works M-F 9-5. Why do you remain in business?

She probably also screams at youth soccer referees.

Tom dishing out more truths.

[Tom Byerトム•バイヤー @tomsan106]

Rarely a day goes by where I don’t think, wow, most organizations entrusted with football development don’t understand football development, themselves.

Millions are thrown at the top end trying to raise the ceiling, (Elites), when it’s the floor that needs elevating (Grassroots). This is where the 99% that will never become professionals push the 1% to be their best. Organic development, unforced.

Billions are poured into the Football Industry and little improvement shown in bridging the massive disparity gap between the best and the less developed countries in the world. They hand out Awards to the countries that hold the most Football Festivals which are basically a pack of little 6yr olds chasing a ball in a Sponsored event which is sold as Football Development.

Most of the youngest aged kids teams are coached by volunteer, often inexperienced parent coaches. Meanwhile the older group Coaches with their coaching licenses and curriculums await a tsunami of kids that come to them having never developed the basic building blocks to learn the most complex difficult skills and components of player development.

Perhaps if the Football World turned the Pyramid upside down, ensuring there was a solid Foundation in place before unleashing this avalanche of Licensing and Diploma programing, we’d see a paradigm shift in the disparity that never seems to go away.
