[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ it’s like when a dude says “we’re pregnant”.  Ummm, no you are not.  Your wife is.

Shows you how much people live vicariously through their kids in this area:).[/quote]

I’m the OP, and while I appreciate some of the posts, people sure do feel a need to judge even when they haven’t thought matters through well (or maybe just don’t have the experience to speak up). Men say “we’re pregnant” because they’re invested in the life they’re building with their partner and because they plan to be part of that journey. I asked “your team” because if you’re on this thread you’ve invested time, energy or thought into bettering your kid’s soccer experience, and in my mind that makes it your team. I’ve also watched the core of the group grow up together and play together for years.

I don’t think I’m the only one on here who also lists a college football team, and professional football, soccer and basketball teams as “mine.” Don’t mind that I don’t personally know any players on any of those we’ll publicized regional teams, nor do I go to or even watch every single one of their games like I do my son’s. So no, I don’t live vicariously. But yes, I’ll contiinue to call my son’s team “mine” because it’s my favorite of the bunch and my son’s unabashedly my favorite player to watch in all the sports listed. Maybe it’s because I spent so much time coaching him, maybe it’s because I was a fan of his before I knew he’d even play sports, but it’s probably because that’s natural if you’re a dad.

Now, about saving this thread, I’ve see good U9 kids play, but that really seems to young to me to warrant much discussion. I’m surprised there aren’t more examples of older teams. Honestly, my hope was to either learn what made those experienced teams special, or to find a couple local teams who play really well and that  would be fun for my kid to watch and learn from. I also thought others might benefit from knowing what’s out there.

Thanks for the positive examples![/quote]
