Defining Value in Youth Soccer
About this episode
Neil Crawford discusses the complexities of defining value in youth soccer through a value equation.
Last episode, I proposed renaming "club soccer." But I realized I left something out. In this episode, I break down my value equation: what you receive divided by what you pay. Simple. But when you apply it to youth soccer, things get complicated. There's tangible value—training hours, coach ratios, field time. And perceived value—everything else parents think they're getting. Understanding the difference changes how you evaluate any program.
