Pay careful attention to the development pathway diagram.

Sarcasm mode on.

Nice to have the state put into writing that there is no place for "premier" outside the RCL. According to the man in charge, if you aren't on an RCL club, you are select and your primary goal should be to get onto an RCL club team. Forget the fact that many of the teams fielded by these RCL clubs would get their noses wiped by many select level teams. If you aren't on an RCL club you will not have access to; College or professional exposure (we don't care how good you are as a player), ODP, Academies or NTC. Very nice...

Nice to see quotes like this "The Regional Club Level of Play is designed for the most committed and skilled players. Club teams are formed from the most skilled players, who must earn a playing position by trying out for the respective team. Training is demanding and is year-round. Consistent with the highest competitive level of play, the time commitment of the player (other sports beyond soccer are expected to be minimal) and the respective monetary cost are normally greater than other levels of play. sent out to every parent in the state which not only fails to inform the public on a wide variety of options for their kids but also sets them up to pay out the nose for the honor of being on an RCL team.

Other gems include

What are the different seasonal schedules at each of the various levels during the season?

    Beginning of September: Season Begins
        Regional Club League (RCL): Boys U10-U18, Girls U10-U14
        State League (Select level of play): Boys U14-U19
        Recreational: Boys and Girls U6-U19


where district level leagues don't exist according to WYS. There is simply Rec, then the state league (which doesn't exist for girls in the Fall any longer) and the RCL.

and

Washington State Youth Soccer is the governing body for youth soccer players in the state of Washington for ages 5-19 which at best is a misstatement and more honestly an outright fabrication.

Well done WYS. You've just reinforced my feelings about your organization and made future decisions for my team and club very easy.

One has to differentiate between the desires of WYS and the desires of the membership of WYS.

WYS is owned by its membership, not the officers and not the staff.

With the abdication of responsibility by the associations, and the packing of the State Board by EL Presidente, I am not sure that your attempt at differentiation means anything.   El Presidente for Life has created the situation where he controlls everything in the WSYSA, including his own re-election.  And if the asociations beleive that they can control the budget or their dues, they have not read the latest revisions to the state bylaws.
