In comparison to USA; do you have multiple local clubs for every town/village/area ? Do you have multiple leagues and divisions for each age group? Do you have coaching sessions available for each group, from trained soccer coaches? Does your local professional clubs have youth academies for the best of the best from local regions? (and when I say local professional, it doesn't have to mean an MLS team. But I guess your MLS teams are the only ones of its type, considering you only have 1 professional tier?). The way I see it, your sports structure is based around the school->college system where as the rest of the world uses local sports clubs from as young as possible up in a large multi tiered pyramid system.
Here is how the US works with our major sports and development(its mostly school-based)
NBA - Elite kids play both for their local high school, as well as an AAU team, which is basically a travelling club for the offseason. There are FAR less AAU teams than High School teams(probably 10s of thousands of high school teams, and maybe hundreds at most of AAU teams. The AAU circuit is for the elite only). After that point the only real options in the past have either been straight to the pros(NBA) if you are one of the 5-10 best players in the whole country, or you go to college, and there's 300+ Division 1 college teams in the US, and many, many lower division college teams, but all of the eventual NBA talent comes from the D-1 level). The NBA in recent years has created a Developmental League(D-League) which is basically like a minor-league system to develop players that are done with school, but not quite ready for the NBA yet.
NFL - all school. There are no elite club-like teams or development system. You go from high school(10,000+ teams) to college(120ish elite-level D1 teams) to NFL. That's it.
MLB - The most similar system to soccer in the rest of the world. The school route is available, Major Leage Baseball will draft players right from highschool or from college. At either point, players then go into the minor league system. There are HUNDREDS of minor league teams, of varying skill levels. Each of the 30 pro MLB teams has anywhere from 3-5 minor league teams. A, AA, AAA levels. Most players spend several years working through the minors, improving their game, before they are MLB/pro ready. Virtually nobody goes straight from being drafted, to a pro team, unlike the NBA or NFL where virtually everybody gets drafted straight into the pro teams.
So really, the US is kind of used to the school -> pro method of sports. Peoples local schools that they attend have traditionally been the source of their athletic training, not private clubs or private trainers. Obviously, the quality of the training that you receive from a school can vary WILDLY. From my personal experience, my high school had its head soccer coach(also a science teacher) who had spent some time playing professional indoor soccer in the US, so the quality of training that our team received was probably better than most, but obviously nowhere near the level of teams or clubs in Europe that are coached by former international players.
And honestly, the US doesn't really have a massive pool of ex players and coaches with international experience to set up a huge system of training clubs and facilities. We're getting there, but it takes time.
And none of our major sports in the US really fund training for young kids. There are no club teams with funding/ties to pro teams for kids that are ages 6-12 or so, it just doesn't start that young here in the US. Kids playing sports at those ages just do so at a local level, usually coordinated through their local town or neighborhood, coached by someones dad who may or may not have any actual knowledge of the sport, lol. Only the upper class(rich) families might have professional sports trainers for their kids(especially in sports like Tennis and Golf, individual sports) but kids in general don't have any access to professional tutelage at a young age here in the US.
