in recent years there have been some academies popping up including a national one. and i think more parents are starting to see futbol as a possible meal ticket for their kids rather than just a suburban game so here's to that.

baseball has minor leagues as well as the majors, so that's where they scout for talent (as well as college, internationally etc). the international scouting is not a small thing-- lots of dominicans in the MLB. well i really don't know much about baseball, only the dominican thing. but yeah.

baseball you can play till much older though.

the thing with futbol is that it's such an abnormal human skill (using the feet not the hands) that if you don't get it very early you never get it. can't take a 17 year old derailed basketball player into a midfielder.

arena was a lacrosse player though! ha ha.
