Congratulations and all the very best to ALL teams! I do have a cynical question: How many of these clubs are based in inner cities?
Ric they are all from the hood and the barrios of East LA…. We need radical my friend… Soccer in the US is abomination and travesty… Money Money Money and you get smoke n mirrors most of the time… We need 600,000 futsal courts so kids can play king of the court, 24/7/365. for free, and especially with no adult interference.. This is what the kids need…. not more minutia….
Cony have you been to Germany. Every play ground has a cage covered small soccer court. Where anyone can play football even old guys like me. You don’t even need that to play. Go to a hand ball court in the morning with a ball and don’t forget to bring your imagination with you.Kids in the hood can play all day long. Any place that has a field. Put a garbage can on each side of the field. Hit a can you scored. How many can play as many or as few who are there. What age any age from 6 to over 70′ how long do you play get tired leave come back when your able. Don’t keep score your not there to play cut throat especially with little kids playing. Coaching little kids learn through demonstration watch the big guys play. Perfect place to show off your skills.
Kony, sorry for the disrespect, but what is in your kool aid???Just who in sam heck is from the hood and the barrios of ELA???
