Every time I think I’ve seen rock bottom, something more disgusting happens. At a local select tournament with my girls this weekend and happened...
Day 1 of the Spring for my U10 team. I have a couple of girls that are ridiculous players so we are in the top division of our league. Hang a...
Anyone have any good 451 videos? My team is playing some pretty superior opponents so we need to defend. Want to play a 451 with double 6s and...
A few of my players have them and it automatically sends me a report when they “sync” them after each training/practice. I think it’s pretty...
Glad SLU beat Duke. What a bunch of classless losers. First Thor pulling that shit against UCLA, then the player hitting the Keeper on the way...
Take this for what it’s worth, but I try to train everyone at 9v9 as a “center mid” ie everyone attacks and everyone defends. At the age where...
Of course not..I’m the coach, rules don’t apply to me [emoji23]
I always thought a youth soccer reality show, similar to Friday Night Tykes or Dance Moms, would kill ratings. Completely toxic for the actual...
Are the 2022 WC groups going to be formed in the same manner as 2018? If that’s the case, I’d be very concerned with the US falling out of the...
How many times are they going to leave runners completely unmarked inside the 6 directly in front of their GK? Good God.
They asked if I would be interested in attending the Grassroots Instructor course in KC so I hope that’s a decent sign lol. Course was based out...
Final course meeting for my C Course today! Very ready to be done. A full time job, coaching 4 teams, owning a business, and doing the license...
I’m fairly certain Pinoe is done. Lloyd has been injured, Pinoe just hasn’t played based on a personal decision. That decision is absolutely...
Yes. I rotate every player at every position except for Keeper. I have one that really likes to play there and does a ton of extra GK specific...
I’m too lazy to backread this entire thread but here’s what I tell my teams (U15, U13, and U10). I expect them to take and win every 1v1...
My opinion, U13 once they start playing 11v11. Prior to that, I teach positions almost exclusively as a “starting spot.” Focus mostly on...
Anyone have a link to a good full match of a team using 3-5-2 that I can have my players watch for match/player analysis. Tried watching a few...
I am using 100+ cones for my U10 practices....cones for individual water breaks/bags, grids for footskills, extra cone for rotations on “drills”,...
Just spent 15 minutes trying to watch the replay of Spirit and Sky Blue on CBS All Access. Mission unsuccessful so now I am watching La Liga on...
Our teams have been doing Techne Futbol. There are a lot of different incentives to motivate the kids to stay engaged. Weekly workouts, monthly...
Agree. They probably need to like the game first. My oldest kid plays “premier” (whatever that means anymore) and half the players couldn’t pick...
Rumor is MLS just hired Jay Berhalter as a “consultant” to help with the development of the league to replace DA......
Development Academy. A program designed for top tier youth players, first on the boys side the girls, that has been, unsurprisingly, completely...
I’m also worried about the financial fallout for our local “scholarship” organizations that provide financial aid for, not only soccer, but all...
Clubs are eligible. Imagine most were anticipating collecting Spring registration fees and instead are giving refunds.
