Lots of soccer action as always around these parts so please enjoy while you can. Big game in the premier league this weekend as title favorites Chelsea travel to Old Trafford to play Manchester United. There is never a dull moment watching United at the moment and this game is well worth watching. Noon kickoff on NBC. This is one I would highly recommend you watch. However, if the rough and tumble of English league is not to your liking then there is always EL Classico. On Saturday at noon Real Madrid host Barcelona in La Liga, what a game that will be. The game will be broadcast on Bein Sports and will most likely feature the return of Luis Suarez from a lengthy ban. Lots of drama and stories I am sure.

Enjoy the weekend folks!

9/30 Update

As coaches and parents, I think we all recognize that the childhood freedom we enjoyed as kids is certainly not the same for today's children. With the increased need for parent supervision due to obvious dangers and threats to young people today, the opportunity for kids to just PLAY has almost entirely disappeared. Nowadays we are too quick as adults to organize and coach them as opposed to letting them just play. Click HERE to read a great little article on the benefits of why young athletes excel with backyard play.

As always we try to share with you the upcoming live games in the area and on TV as it is a key part in a players development. Another good way to catch the key moments/highlights of top level soccer is to surf the internet. Here are some great links to some top action from the last 3-4 days.

  1. Barcelona were back to their scintillating best as they put 6 past Granada. Click HERE to see highlights of the game. 
  2. Last nights Champions League games contained a few cracking match ups. Click HERE to view the highlights of all 8 games
  3. BBC Match of the Day - EPL Highlights from Week 6

Looking ahead to this week:

The champions league returns this week for the second round of games. There is also a feast of action locally with lots of college games going on.
