1. Opening kickoff of a 9v9 game. Bit of a short field. Whistle blows, big strong girl from the back runs up and kicks the ball at the goal. Keeper saved it. Kicking parents cheered for such a great kick. With all of the player development initiatives, small sided games and prior season build out lines, is this what we are trying to teach?

Ok, my kid netted a kickoff shot following a toe tap by a teammate in a sand soccer game. I thought it was pretty cool. Just sayin'. :cool:

Aside from my kids games this weekend, I was able to catch 3 other games. I'm a bit amazed at what people say/do/pay for.

4. Same 11v11 game. 2nd half starts. Ball goes out of bounds in about 30 seconds. Coach calls for a substitute. What could have possibly happened in 30 seconds to get this player pulled to the bench? About 2 minutes later, he subs again. I didn't pay attention to overall playing time, but this team had about 16 players.

Dude, it was totally her job to shoot on goal directly off the 2nd half kickoff. She must be... a kickoff specialist. Job done, take a seat! Don't you know anything?!

She has a future in the NFL. Are you allowed to use a tee in soccer? I bet she could have cleared the parking lot.

Insert whatever vowel you want for the dollar sign!
