If you don’t like soccer, just come out and say so...why post a useless article that could apply to any sport nowadays.

All 3 of my kids play soccer, and the athleticism and stamina they’ve achieved through this sport is fantastic. Whether they play baseball or football, they can run circles around non-soccer playing kids.

I grew up on Soccer as our families primary sport...
And have always loved playing it, while my body still permitted
Given a choice, I'd much rather kick around the ball than throw it

The article points out the foibles of Coaching
not to compete as best one can
The principles apply to all sports, and life in general

Agree.

This article is made up BS. These kinds of teams are fine when the kid is five, six or even seven years old but if a club of a coach tries to take this past age ten, everyone quits.

The Comment Logs on the Article were also worth perusing...
