There is a Scottish Samantha Kerr.:) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samantha_Kerr_(Scottish_footballer)
So - leaving the Moultrie family out of it. (Those videos were cringy!) Who is for the NWSL age dropping to 16 which aligns with FIFA rules? I...
I agree with this. There needs to be a professional pathway. Do the NWSL teams have reserve/B/D teams that play in a B/D league? The US youth...
What's also different about college soccer is that the season in short and the teams play 2 games a week. There is a short spring season, but...
Just saw this in the Norway woso thread: LSK's goalscorer Christensen is only 16 years old (b. Nov 2004). She has fought her way into the...
FIFA rules are 16 and 15 if a parent is living with them. For those few elite players the NWSL needs to rethink what they are doing. All around...
For me it's also the mental strength and ability to remain focused on the field and on the bench. At. high levels everyone has great technique and IQ.
Yes - some games she is outstanding and others she is just very good. She is young and still growing as a player and has amazing more experienced...
We don't live in the USA. My oldest plays professionally and I can tell you that every game/training session that I watched her before she had her...
Nope. My player gives 100% every time. But she has always had great coaches that make it intense and fun.
I noticed the opposite on the teams that my player played on - the ball only went to the left because the mids were facing forwards and they...
Fair enough @Wazzaville. And I should have specified that I mainly watch female soccer and in another country. My guess is that if college...
@dehoff03 - I'll agree with you on one thing the more one weighs the more stress on the joints. My doctor told me every extra 1 kilo is 4 kilos of...
Lucky you!
I see the opposite. I see wingers who can beat the defender and deliver the cross and #9's and #10's that are not making the runs into the box or...
@NewDadaCoach is correct. Although a lot of those risk factors were disproven in other recent studies. @dehoff03 states there are "plenty of...
What is consider playing too much. That's a great question. The key to getting opportunities is to stay uninjured. So it's important to find that...
This simply isn't true - weight is not considered a risk factor of ACL injuries. And approximately 80% of all ACL injuries are non contact.
My player had a rec coach when they were very young (U7) who would just about only yell "Look up. Pass"at practice and "Options" , "Spread out"...
I'm sure my daughter's team was POTB by 12/13's - when she started travel soccer. I'm sure the coach coached it U11's, but it was rec soccer.
@upprv - I think if you look at women's rosters overall Div 1 and Div 2 in the South and West US you'll find a lot of teams don't even have...
@upprv the Internationals for the most part bring a lot to the teams and help the American players around them grow. Most of those Internationals...
@Tom81 a team needs to press, attack and defend together as a team as well as all buy into the coach's game plan to win a natty. A team of very...
@johngonole sometimes a player will have those seasons where they seem to be just average on the pitch. But it doesn't mean that they are not...
if your kid is talented and has high goals club training is probs not enough. Soccer is a very technical game and privates or semi privates are...
