What Parents Are Saying About Us

❝

Thanks for having such a great webpage. First of all, I'm a soccer parent for 2 young soccer kids (7 and 9 year old) and your webpage puts things into a good perspective for parents like me. But besides that, I'm a volunteer coach, team manager, and recently joined my club’s board as the competitive program director. We have a great club with excellent professional coaching staff from the but one main thing I see for my role is improving the communications with the parents. And for that all your posts help me and are a great resource.

I recently discovered your blog and website and wanted to reach out and tell you how much I appreciate your articles. I played soccer at Dartmouth College and now have three children (10, 8, and 5) who are getting more and more involved in athletics. I am increasingly discouraged as I see the way that youth sports are going (year-round commitments, early specialization, over involvement and unrealistic expectations of parents, etc.). I am hoping that the research that is coming out about youth sports will help swing the pendulum back toward a more healthy and positive athletic culture for our children.
Thanks again for your great work!

I’m thrilled to be a member of Soccer Parenting thanks to my son’s Atlanta-based club, Chiefs FC, who took out a club wide subscription for all families. They are a phenomenal club. My son is learning so much from Chiefs and along with your parenting website, I feel like soccer has become much more enjoyable for our whole family this year.
