[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^it can’t if we can’t change the way Americans play soccer. That is the crux. College, pro, soccer in the US is not pretty and we stick to the same manner of training/playing. If we cant quit lionizimg 9-12 year old travel players and focus on developing them all equally instead, I have no hope for the future. There is a lot of $ in youth sports and those reaping the rewards do not want change. Many would be out of a job.[/quote] Oh my god. Just take your kid to a MLS game if you can. Tune in to the occasional game on TV. Support a local USL team if that is all you have or take your kid to a major College soccer game. Expose your little 9-12 to the live game in person and on TV. Kick the ball around with them. Emphasize their technical game at a young age in fun ways and let them fall in love with the game. If YOU do all of the above and convince a friend with a soccer playing kid to do the same all will be just fine.[/quote]
