This has been a rough season rain-wise for us. You would think I would have had more time to be active, but of course all my kids are in...
Thanks for the info! I'm going to try and check this out tomorrow while I'm working.
Good stuff. You should head over to the Youth section of the US board where there are discussions right now on pay to play. When your sons' came...
That is he next mandate from US Soccer.
Which would make it tough for me. I was always average, but I swear on most of my kids' teams I am one of the shorter parents.
My daughter's (and our) first Futsal experience was two sessions this past winter. She/we loved it. I asked her just now what she liked better...
I definitely agree with this and maybe my last one was too focused on how it could impact MLS. I am not a MLS hater or anything and what I...
This is what I was led to believe as well. Not that I don't think that speed and strength matters (good/fast beats good/slow in my book usually),...
I love this from your post! I think this is an excellent view that I subscribe to. I am probably too familiar with other sports, but it isn't...
There is a lot to unpack here and I am at work so don't have the time I would like to go through it. For now, the quote stood out. While I don't...
Great stuff as always. Is there something MLS could do now that would make a difference for the college game? Is part of the duty of MLS to...
Really interesting #s! Is soccer judged differently than other sports in terms of pro expectations? It seems like for a lot of sports, just...
I did like this point in the article: Who don’t understand the honor and responsibility of representing an entire high school community instead...
Thanks for the insight. Regarding your point about your kid playing in other leagues outside of club and there isn't a lot of pressure, is it not...
To your first point, I definitely agree. It's not that I wouldn't want kids doing more pickup soccer, I just tend to think it isn't really a...
I think I posted a similar article months ago where it was just as you noted -- most of us can relate well to the issues, but there are no...
I don't have near the knowledge most of you do. I am learning fast, but I do think our club is not at the level of most others in terms of some...
I was actually looking for a specific website, but this article caught my eye in the search results. It is almost worthy of the college forum,...
It is definitely not the #s I had anticipated based on what I perceived as the popularity of the game. Then again, from a rec perspective with...
Is this an issue for all sports or primarily an impact on soccer? Is there any primary reason? Is it cost to play at a higher level? I never...
Looking for weekly podcasts or more frequently that are active. Thank!
I just listened to the Warming interview. I am from Omaha and apparently not at all versed in the history of soccer in Omaha and probably not as...
I was going to say that our club hasn't done them over the two years my 11 year old has played for them, then I was thinking I don't recall...
I don't know for sure. ESPN+, right now at least, is a $4.99/month subscription service -- the main thing I think it carries is MLS (replaces MLS...
I didn't think about it being a conference or school decision when I initially posted. I was thinking of ESPN+ just carrying all of the NCAA...
