[quote=Anonymous]Your husband coming from a different country and playing high level probably has seen some of the worst sides of soccer.

Honestly soccer is probably the most popular youth sport in this area.

In some, if not all rec leagues, kids are not allowed to head the ball until like 11ish?  There are supposedly a lot of safety rules and protocols in place to protect youth these days.

One would think that it would be fun for parents to teach kids what they know.  Where usually the kids you see that are good at a specific sports are the ones who have parents who have played it and know how to teach their kids.  In one of our previous neighborhoods that had a lot of Latinos you would see dads teaching their kids how to play soccer at the local fields.

I don't even like soccer but had my kids play it because saw how everyone was doing it and saw the benefits it gave.  And it is the world's most popular sport.  And you see adults playing it for fun in pickup games.  As well as play in some sort of leagues at some indoor fields.  So I have to admit that the social aspect is probably there for soccer.

At the same time try to see your husband's point of view and maybe try to understand where he's coming from.[/quote]
