I got out of my car expecting Northern temperatures, not thick humid air on the surface of the sun. The players all looked absolutely drained by...

What's hard to understand is where the Sevilla players' minds were making tackles like that. What's the point in fighting like that to get a score...

I don't disagree at all. So here's the question. What do you do in these cases? Let the kid sit down and pick daisies until he wants to...

The only concern I have is that, even with my suggestion of what to do, this player has shown zero interest in attempting anything. His confidence...

This sounds great. I don't believe I have a critical mass of players that can understand these types of rules yet. We do have some, but they're...

I do remember it being that way. As youth we were all told to put it on the corner of the side that it went out. Blew my mind when I finally read...

After watching the game against Guyana I came away with a sense that we were playing very slow. Not in the physical speed sense, but the decision...

For which one?

Have you considered dropping one of the worst offenders? Once the team understands there are consequences to missing so many practices then people...

I'd wonder if just disbanding is the appropriate option. Just telling them we're going to prefer to play who shows up to practice and if not...

This is great. Thanks for that. I'm going to contact some people and start asking around and see if I can replicate this in our area. It's the...

So your rec league provides insurance year round, or just during official seasons? It's always been a question to me how to get it going during...

How do you manage to get the kids together for open play in the summer? Do you have to run insurance or is it more of a call each other up and...

I don't entirely disagree, however I'm in a similar situation right now. Son showing promise, can dribble entire teams (when he decides he wants...

Have you considered coaching? At the younger ages, it really is more about what the coach is NOT doing than what the coach is doing. As long as...

That's great news to hear! Joysticking is probably common in about 90% of the teams I see. It's so common that the parents of one of the teams I...

There's no replacement for time on the ball individually. I've yet to be convinced that paid club soccer is more than a luxury for the well-to-do....

I haven’t yet had someone explain to me why it’s all necessary. The entire structure seems broken.

That's always an embarrassing talk, to be able to take criticism and move forward. If she improves I'd say good on her. It's a life skill to be...
