The Revolution Academy needs to make some changes.

When soccer snobs say that kids in the US don't spend enough time with the ball at their feet, I'm afraid they don't mean for kids to sign up for yet another organized pay-to-play league, with practices structured by adults, with some teams focused on winning big tournaments, and played with a low-bounce ball.

It's more of a metaphor for having the type of passion for soccer that it's a constant part of a kid's daily life. They're hoping for more of those kids who bring their soccer ball to school to play at recess (maybe even dribbling there and back home again), who eat dinner passing the ball between their feet under the kitchen table, who get home from practice and head outside to improve upon a skill they just learned, making up a new skill combination in the process, who attempt to juggle in the back seat of the car on the way to the grocery store, or at home with anything somewhat roundish they get their hands on. These are the types of kids who may make their way to the top, but more importantly, they are playing because they truly love the game.

Why can't it be both?

Don't bother. I am sure it is the proud mom/dad or the kid himself doing some self promotion.

No, actually, really, spare me.

The young man from the Bolts, MR, now that is pretty special -especially for this region. A young man from a team who won a nonsense futsal tournament that's the second biggest tourney in January is utter nonsense...mate, I mean mom.

"Tracked big time". I do tire of hearing from parents on this site. Whenever effusive praise is heaped on a child, it's very clear who the source is.

I am not comparing any kid to MR, and I specifically didn't use initials. I am simply pointing out what sb considered extraordinary and what shouldn't. Each to his/her own.
