^^^^^When this used to come on in a dance, my gosh, I know you about this Don Rhymus

Are their drafts in soccer like the 4 major sports?
Nah bra. Each club has their own academy where they recruit players as young as 6 yrs old in some cases. Those players are brought through the ranks (u-9, u-16, u-18s etc.) until they are poached from Barcelona or make their first team debut.
There is a SUPERdraft in MLS however though.

they do
but they are not professionals. They can sign a contract anywhere when they turn 18 (or 16 in England)
because 99.9999999999% of the time they end up signing for the club that developed them, if offered a professional contract.So what's the point of bringing them up if they can just sign anywhere after they're eligible to become a pro?
