The problem I see is that we are a bunch of wimps. Our practice was cancelled tonight because there is a Hurricane hundreds of miles away. In addition they have already cancelled our weekend games. We are on the East coast of Florida and have had no weather at all. My bet is that they are practicing tonight in Atlanta where their teams can compete on the national level. It is time to get with the program you pansie Florida pussy clubs.

They sit there with their damn umbrellas and block the view for every one and then complain about calls based on their knowledge of american football or basketball

Pretty broad question
There are alot things wrong with soccer in Florida - but is it really any different here than somewhere else? I grew up playing soccer in MN and my kid plays here in Florida and I see the same problems here as I did 30 years ago in MN. Poor coaching - coaches only care and focus on the star players and don't hold them accountable for making their teammates better and allowing them to play selfish (not pass - hogging the ball) Coaches also don't allow the lesser skilled players enough playing time to get better because everything is based on winning and not development and I mean this for the U12 and lower kids - Also 30 years ago we practiced 5 nights a week plus a Saturday game, now your lucky if you get 3 practices in a week plus a game and get charged a high dollar amount. Then you have the club D.O.C. does any club have a decent D.O.C. ?? Highly doubtful! Then you have too many different clubs to choose from - god forbid we all get along and just have one club per city with multiple teams and levels for all children! I know I know money talks in Florida! Then there are the parents good grief parents shut up and let the kids play. I live on the left coast of Florida and the parents are fairly decent - east coast - forget about it! Yes I know the skill of soccer blows the west coast out of the water but does that mean the parents have to be so disgusting and nasty? I dunno its just my two cents - keep the peace parents - our children are watching us....

For boys it is simple...the better athletes and the ones that would be naturally more talented tend to play football. What is left over plays baseball and basketball. Then you get your soccer players...the most mediocre of mediocre of athletes.
On the girls side...too much division of talent. Every area has multiple teams pulling from the same talent pool. Good players will leave to be the star somewhere else.

I am also not saying every great athlete would make a great soccer player, but that being a great athlete gives you a better chance. There are tons of sports where quick decisions can make or break a game...football, hockey, and basketball come to mind as all three of those sports deal with player movement. Vision, natural spatial awareness, as well as athleticism help. The idea is that if you took these athletes who are very gifted and put them on a pitch at a young age with the same desire they show sports like football and basketball that they wouldn't develop into elite soccer players as well is short-sighted and ignorant. Good athletes are good athletes...I would expect that top-level soccer players put in a similar situation with another sport would excel as well.
You are correct that soccer players are born, but it is not so much being good at soccer, but that they are naturally gifted athletes that can easily be molded to a sport.
