they dont care if you teach em anything just cant kill em.... get a friend and the young players will love laying for a young person.. you will be very successful.. they will love you..

Sorry havent been on today... stuff they will talk about.. alot .. well lets see its been about twenty five years since i did mine.. stuff about first aid. hydration.. very little strategy and things.. but some... nothing you wont be okay with. ..

Ha good cuz thats where I heard it . Sometimes its good to be nice and say good things.. thats me... :-[

Oh let me rephrase it... coach :-[ is a fine person. good luck friendswood soccer team

I was wrong... Nstockie (keeper for Kelly) is going ..........

You would never sign an autograph. You would have to show your face. ;D however good luck to Friendswood girls........ I hear the coach is a fine lady..............

get in touch with the director of coaches for spindletop and tell them you want to get your license so you can coach. you go to a one day clinic and they give you a quiz. the best part is the state coach will use you for all the demonstrations cuz you play.. and they day ends and you go home and you have a license.... ;D

Go get a license to coach. a saturday and you are done... i beleive that would be awesome... for the local soccer for sure

SP is going with his club.. neither of the others are in.

I believe SFA hit it perfect. Recognition from school mates and community and school pride does help to get some of these kids soccer recognition they surely wont get in club.... Now with all this said. Any other local high school teams going to form for clubs... aeries you need to take a vidor team with one of your buddies, and someone from lcm can get one.. west brook, lumberton.. and so on...

The ACL injuries in girls is definitely a good stat. We had a personal trainer come in and work with our soccer team and the first thing he did was explain to the guys the correct form for landing and doing the jumps and so on. Explaining that most girls naturally land ..... however it was he showed........ and then explained its why that girls have so many more times injuries to their acl then guys. Its about their established habit and their design....... but can be remedied to cut down on their injuries...

I think you can do both. The 9th grader has probably not really made her mind up as much as their parents have made their mind up. The kids grow up and when they are in around eleventh grade usually know if they want to go on and play.

SFA hit the nail on the head. Poole team is ranked one in the nation.

There are loads of soccer scholarships available for girls that want to play.... Go for it... The higher your SAT scores the better for recruiting. They can get you more academic money and not use lots of scholarship money. That last part is especially important for boys.

the fact of the matter is.... in high school you have a better chance of getting injured against the less skilled teams players that only play in high school. Schedule good quality teams and the injuries go way down as skilled players usually dont hack or hurt another player. And for that matter, injuries occur all over the place, with most occuring around the house. Your kids can get hurt playing volleyball at the beach, skiiing skimboarding or in a church league. Very few club trainers ask their players not to play high school except for the new academy league teams which are paying their players ways into the league and uniforms but not their travel. A group of club players in dallas were asked to make a choice and the group all already had their colleges picked and scholarships offered so they told the academy adios. The fact is college coaches wont worry about high school games only because the talent is spread across so so many teams. They do have a few high school tournaments that have some colleges attend but not likely. I have known for a fact that many times I have had college coaches come and watch a high school game because they were available to watch then instead of while club is goingon during the fall when their college season is going on. With that said. College coaches very rarely go to a game at a tournament to just so happen see a guy or gal. They go usually because the players have been contacted or contacted a college and they will be at the same place at the same time. Soccer doesnt just travel looking for players as their budget doesnt allow.. They look for certain people that have credentials and then hunt those players out. I have helped many players go to college and working with several now.

Thanks ;D and let people understand the notion that it is expensive and travel is outrageous. If you play locally and your games are in Houston you travel once a weekend six hours round trip game included. If your playing on a Houston Club team then travel and training expenses along with travel does get costly but locally shouldnt be. If your playing on a team with friends that has qualified to play Super 2 or Div 1 then you are getting some great quality time wiht friends and parents, rather than gripe about the travel. Be thankful for the time your getting to spend with your kids as they are growing up and getting out before long. A captive audience with your teenagers and some good conversation time haha. High School Coaches shoiuld encourage someone to get a team for your high school players to play on. Get some high school players to work with younger teams coaches in the area. Then you will have those little kids wanting to come to the high school games locally and watch their assistant"coach" player. It used to be great and fun. Our club team had some of the best rivalry and SOCCER games against club team from Lumerton and West Brook , Kelly and Orange back in the day. It was good fun and made high school games entertaining. Many more people in the stands when Ned and PnG used to play. The cost is miminal and you dont have to have the great expensive unifroms . My club team travels to Houston Tournament in august and maybe.. maybe but not likely one other. Only because of school priorities andor vacations and working as they get older. Our high school kids will not even practice for club , but just play their games on Saturday in Beaumont. The practice they will get is in soccer PE at school . So its a win win situation. Thanks Wellread....

Good Luck to the Lady Raiders. Your the only game in town.... we all are pulling for you.

It all comes down to the club programs influence on high school soccer. The better high school teams have higher quality club programs in their area, that feeds into high schools. If your lucky enouph for the high school coaches to be knowledgeable and keep them pointed the rite direction then those programs excel even more. Friendswood girls I am sure get quality training and then play quality games throughout the year. As does Kingwood Klein Katy schools. Same goes for boys and their high school situations. Until the local teams can mount a quality attack distributing the ball and possessing the ball. We locally will always struggle to win againt the states top programs. Those are usually being tops by the clubs that feed them. Locally when our teams were going deep into the playoffs it was due to all our high schools around here had kids playing club and then going into high school together and being able to carry their teams deep. No doubt the Lumberton girls can pull off another win with some great defending and a goal. But good possessing soccer, and good quality defending can only be taught playing quality teams game after game.j Unlucky as it is around here the quality of club soccer has completely taken a dump and the local teams need to push their players to play club locally. Even if it is Div 2 at least they are playing together. Friendswood has established their tradition and now girls want to be part of it. And so the cycle is in place. Look at Brenham, Klein and again all the fore mentioned areas. Sure a surprise team will come along and pull a big time upset but few and far between. I know at Kelly I am pushing for the kids to play club together , even local, and Nederland will have a club team. Hopefully Vidor West Brook, PNG and others will follow. It can only help the local schools go further. I think I should start a new topic on this subject if someone else doenst do it before me. Good luck Lady Raiders

anyone know the final of this game

They will surely have a coin flip to decide. they wouldnt drive over to houston to play each other...

JUST HEARD

nederland........ overtime..... 2-1........... they live to fight another day.......

Good luck raiders................

Awake now. I can see several visited the south texas portal. It is a argument that comes out about four or five times a season. Funny part is we are all griping, and arguing about how horrible it is......... BUT NOT ONE CENTRAL FAN HAS BEEN ON Here GRIPING.. hmmmmmmm..... Maybe they know something we dont.. that they didnt care, and dont care and that the score could have been worse but in fact Lumberton may have pulled off the score as much as they could. But wasnt there and I dont know...

Just so nobody thinks I am hiding ;D, or dancing around facts ... I am going to bed. :-[ So soccer people. Gnight :-* :-*.
