    Pre-season mini camp starts tonight. Fall season is here. What thoughts are going through your mind?

    - U16, It should all start coming together between now and Spring.
    - Or I pull the plug on club soccer!
    - COACH MY KID!
    - Before you know it, it will be Winter.
    - Hell yeah, NFL pre season starts Thursday!
    - Chelsea AND Dortmund.
    - Maybe this is the year I get that rainsuit.

    Last season before high school. I tell my kid (new coach), listen to what the coach says - look him in the eye. This is the last opportunity for you to grow before high school so make it count!

    Other then that this is my final year (of 16) running soccer locally. I cannot wait to not have to distribute kits, line fields, find coaches, fix nets, reschedule games and more.

    Looking forward to NFL - second leg of the F1 season starting with SPA!

    I hope Pulisic gets a goal per game, but then Chelsea still loses most of them. :laugh:

    Found the right club and coaches. My kid got the training and the challenges she needed last season and it will be even harder and more rewarding this season. She will be prepared for high school and when that starts, we'll see if we continue with club soccer.

    As stated above - there is more in life like music, basketball and tennis which she likes as well.

    Just had a conversation last night with a parent about how so many parents are delusional about their kids sport. I am not - and never was. My kid is right where she belongs.

    OMG, DS is U17???!!! When did he get that old?
    Don't let anyone get hurt
    Crap, DD sprained her ankle at coach's clinic
    What will DS's club team be like after 6 players leave (3 to DA, 3 out of the sport)?
    Will DD's MS team repeat as conference champs?
    DS's HS team hasn't looked as bad as I thought after losing 10 seniors
    Who can I get to shoot coaches video for DS's HS team while I take still pictures?
    Coach, don't take DD's U14 team to a showcase that's 3 hours away. :p
