Observed a U11 girls game yesterday. Team plays back to their GK. Not an attacker in sight. Ball slips under this 10 yr olds foot. Into the goal. The adults attached to the “goalscoring” team erupt and celebrate like they have won the lottery. What on earth is wrong with people?

The best 12 year olds are rarely, rarely ever the best 18 year olds. We need to continue to be patient. Like a fine wine. It’s a late developing sport, always has been always will be.

👍. A number of these players started with us at U11. Never played in “leagues”. It’s an interesting experiment and journey. The “players need to be in top competitive leagues through youth” is an oversold notion.

U21 Cup in their first season in the league after a 2-1 final victory over BC Tigers. John Joseph got them up and running with a 7th minute bicycle kick, then Euan Aitchison got the winner with about 10 to go.

So one of our Canadian players makes a big move to Inter Milan and gets in the substitutes immediately (huge) and there are people in our country going off about how he didn’t get on for his debut. Give your head a shake. This is current top of Serie A and CL finalists 🤦♂️

So is watching your kids play soccer on a 70,000 sq ft field outside with 22 players. Which by the way is 3181 sq ft per player. More sq. footage than an average house 😁

There needs to be less time spent on out of possession disruption at the U11-14 ages and more time spent teaching the players how to keep the ball and comfortably play in each 1/3 of the field.

Add in the reduction in carbon footprint …
The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.
Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it.
