I was hoping this would be more of a debate on why we need both organizations.
I can’t yes or no. But I think these leagues (ecnl regional and DPL) are stupid. Plenty of completion within 50 miles for these teams.
Thanks for posting that. I think that proved my theory- that lower level youth soccer in Europe looks about like our high/mid level soccer in...
Don’t forget the stupid new uniforms.
Is he leaving because he wasn’t in the CEO candidate pool?
Seems whenever I see a video of La Masia or other euro academy players, it is a very, very high level. Especially when compared to US youth...
I’ve tried to make it more relative to positions. Of course, your striker should be scoring. But what about your backline? Midfield? I’ve started...
I know HS soccer gets a bad rap. And for those with D1 and beyond aspirations, it's probably not the pinnacle of soccer. BUT- I'm pretty excited...
Does your team play out of the back? If so- the 2/3 position are probably the most valuable spot on the field. You need skill, composure,...
Use this fall season to observe all of the teams you play against to see if that’s the environment you want your kid to play in. Has your current...
Why did you move to this team?
I've got a Girls 2004 team. About half of the roster is 2005 players. Been coaching many of them for 4+ years. I feel they are getting a little...
I’d say our team plays pretty good soccer. We are actually a mix of 05 and 04 players playing in the 04 age group. She is one of 8 05s on our 16...

Would have been better to pick it up today and miss the Sweden game than get it in the Sweden game and miss the 1st knockout game.
Is he adding chapters based on the last 2 games?
Update- I took my team to another club. The final straw- they wanted my team to practice at a field 30 minutes away. My entire team lives in...
“Showcase” tournament here this weekend has their brackets named after luxury vehicles....
That grass looks horrible. Hope no injuries.
All it is going to take is a pissed off parent with enough time and money to bring the house of cards crashing down. - Non-profits? Come on!! -...
Is that purple? Red, white, blue and purple. Well, at least they don't look like England or Portugal anymore.
I am the least flexible person EVER. Even as a high school athlete that stretched (static) nearly every day, I could never touch my toes. But I...
What is everyone's opinion of training games that segment the field (Channels, thirds, etc). I see lots of social media posts with training...
We do a version of the 11+. But I’ve been wondering a bit lately about the static vs dynamic warm up. Injuries for young athletes have...
I had no issue with it. Here she was out knocking a ball around with her husband and a bunch of other couples. She didn’t want to be a famous...
