Welcome to Youth Soccer POV for Parents, Fans (and anyone interested in learning more about soccer)!
So, your kid just scored their first goal and now you’re hooked? Or maybe you’re suddenly finding yourself on the sidelines of a soccer field every weekend, wondering what “offside” actually means? Don’t worry, you’ve come to the right place!
Whether you’re a complete newbie or just need to brush up on your soccer knowledge, this blog is your one-stop shop for all things soccer.
Why this blog?
As someone who’s lived and breathed soccer my whole life – from youth leagues all the way to men’s club, and coaching my own kids – I get it. Soccer can seem like a whole new world, especially if you didn’t grow up with the sport.
When my own kids started playing club soccer, I realized there wasn’t a lot of information out there specifically for parents navigating this world. From understanding the rules and positions to decoding the lingo and figuring out the costs, it can be overwhelming.
That’s why I created this blog. I want to share my passion and knowledge to help you:
- Understand the basics: We’ll cover everything from the rules of the game to the different positions on the field.
- Navigate the world of club soccer: We’ll delve into tryouts, tournaments, costs, and what to expect as a soccer parent.
- Become a more informed fan: We’ll discuss tactics, formations, and famous players, so you can impress your kids (and their friends) with your soccer smarts.
- Enjoy the beautiful game: Most importantly, I want to help you appreciate the skill, excitement, and teamwork that make soccer such a great sport.
So, whether you’re trying to figure out what a “4-3-3 formation” is or just want to know how to choose the right soccer cleats for your child, stick around. We’ll have fun, learn a lot, and hopefully make your soccer journey a little easier and a lot more enjoyable.
