The difference between the US and European soccer club organization is that your clubs don't really charge the kids to make money. They train kids in development or elite programs. The kids play and some go on to be great. They either work their way up to the first team or are sold to another team generating a tidy sum for the club to keep on doing business with.
In the US clubs don't own player rights in any way. Parents pay for training, players come and go as they please. If they become great they go play for whoever wants them with no compensation to the club.
