The Biggest Passion in The World... Football!
Also called Soccer at our house! 

Of all the things to get passionate about... Youth Soccer?  How does this work? Especially in America?  Huh?

A ball, which I was really hoping 20 years ago would have been a much smaller thing hit with a bat instead of a foot or head; Turned out to be a large multi-colored, sometimes "designer" ball that could cost as much as $70.00.  Who knew then that it would have the impact that it has on me and my family?  And... It's All Good!

Here's how to get passionate about youth soccer when you have your kids tell you they want to play soccer instead of baseball or softball...  Of course it helps if you could look into the future and see how happy it will make them!

Soccer Season

It's Long - Once soccer season starts be prepared for it to last a while.  Unlike baseball or football season, soccer goes on in Fall and Spring!

The Rules - Forget trying to figure that one out without watching about 60 games over a course of a year. Then you "start" to understand them. Until then, yell at the ref alot. That helps you understand them better.

The Choices - In the beginning it was "recreational" soccer league.  Then at about 9 years old you get to make a choice (that is, if your kid is any good at all) about league/club soccer.

The Soccer Club - There is nothing as important as the club.  Get the right one and your kid is destined for glory in college.

So... this site is about learning something about youth soccer in America because your kids may surprise you one day and come home telling you they want to play soccer instead of baseball or good ole football.  It's also about what it can mean to your family in terms of college and scholarships.

What you have to look forward to is something that I don't think you can get in most of the other sports available to kids. I may be a bit biased about it, but I truly think that is the case.  Youth soccer is something that will involve the entire family and it last pretty much throughout the school year.  So you have lots of time to spend working together on it.

HERE'S THE BEST PART!  - Especially if you have girls.

Soccer is still an up and coming sport in America and it is still pretty easy for players to get rather generous scholarships to college to play soccer!  So far I have my first daughter through college.  Her soccer was worth $28,000.00 to me.  My second one graduates this Spring from high school and will go to the same college her big sister did.  Her soccer will be worth $36,000.00.  Not bad!
