Dr Jay Martin brings up a very good point in an article posted at NSCAA:
“…Yes, everyone plays in tournaments – except youth teams in other soccer playing countries.”
It’s a very interesting perspective!

Mat and three of his buddies played for SOCCERPRO.com at the Scripps Ranch 3v3 tourney on Sunday.
It was a fun day, and the boys did really well! They went into the semi-finals undefeated and lost to a VERY good team from El Centro.
HUGE thanks to SOCCER PRO for sponsoring the team! They looked great in their SoccerPro shirts!

Katie Hawley (known by her friends as “Kit Kat”) has been in a fight for her life since last July, when she was diagnosed with Stage 3, high risk GanglioNeuroblastoma nodular cancer.

If you’re in San Diego, have you been to the new Soccer Fanatic store in Chula Vista?
Luckily (well, not so lucky for my wallet!), it’s mere minutes from my house, and it’s gorgeous!

They recently moved into a big new double-size store — very cool!
Stop by and say HI to the supernice manager, Jasmine, if you get a chance.
She’s a sweetie, and she knows her soccer gear.
If you’re not in San Diego, no worries! You can shop at the awesome Soccer Fanatic online store.
(Free shipping on any $75+ order!).
Oh, and lest I forget… they won the US Soccer award for THE BEST soccer store in the COUNTRY!!!!
