Normally I'd agree it's dumb but as that club isn't limited to just soccer it's hard to disagree with them. It's built into a life experience and...
Our area is all kick and run. It's about the pass and really nothing more. I guess that's our identity.
You know, if you'd stop telling your kids to pass to the other team...:rolleyes: We start tomorrow. We don't cut anyone at all - if a kid/family...
Not gonna lie, we really do. Not sure why more clubs don't come up with at least their own guidelines. Isn't that what makes each club unique? Or...
Spring season is OVER. We got 3 of our 4 games in during our tournament. I wasn't aware the Midwest had a monsoon season. Instead of finishing 3rd...
Gonna have to agree with the above about ladders of sorts but I wanted to add a piece. You say the kids are a bit lackadaisical and nonchalant in...
I think that's what I was getting at, yes. Maybe I was being a tad sarcastic towards those practices but you got my point. haha. Unless I have a...
That, and how many parents would be ok with their kids playing down a bit even for a short time? You know, because everyone's kid is the next...
Other than zero pressure, how does someone not work on defense at the same time as working on the attack? If you have the ball, you attack. If you...
Pretty sure I wasn't discussing tactics but ok. USSF and NSCAA courses cost a fair share of money, we do agree on that. Neither though really...
My body is telling me our spring season is almost over. Last games are this Saturday. A tournament over Memorial Day weekend is really all that...
We take it one step further and show them the differences (mostly records) between our younger teams and our older teams. Doesn't take long for...
How is there a pronoun issue? If you read it in context it makes sense. Thank you for putting words into my mouth too. I've said nothing about...
We have leagues where kids from other teams/clubs can come in and get trained by our coaches. Some are just playing with us but some are from...
Plus most of this doesn't take into consideration how the practice is run. If you stand around and work on shape and passing for your entire...
Please tell me you all are outside now. Or are the seasons just that boring?
2.5 hours a week isn't that off. It's all in how you go about it. You don't need 5 or 10 minute water breaks. Our club also doesn't go over how to...
As long as they don't have a Girl Scout outing to a chocolate factory the night before an early game, I don't really bother with much. fwiw, the...
You can't still be ready to be outside? We have another 3 weeks of our league but it's 4v4 and indoor all year so really until tryouts and I can...
Happy? Someone feel free to change the title. I kinda suck at that stuff. I start practices again tonight. It's been a month and a half since...
Unless something changed, you will pass either way. It just depends on if it's State or National level. One lets you move on while one just looks...
As long as it's not blue. :D
I made that mistake years ago and then when I heard a radio commercial where they said dicks.com I laughed and figured a lot of people were in for...
Maybe the league should mandate that no new teams can wear (dark) blue. That would solve a few issues at least. Just thinking and dreaming out...
Nah, I'm not worried about it at all. It's more the lack of professionalism and all from the director that irked me. It was a dick move (no pun...
