The future of soccer looks very bright in the Triangle

Based on the turn-outs at the Quinn Indoor on Youth Open Play Friday and Saturdays (7-11pm).. 100 total players (5 pee wee teams 8-12yrs old and (4) high school age teams 13 and up)  Friday night alone.. then another 75 players on Saturday. There is going to be some phenomenal soccer talent coming out of this area far beyond our most recent stars. Plain and simple they are playing a ton of soccer and having a blast doing it. Some of these kids play on outdoor teams, then the indoor league and then come for fun two nights a week. Sure there may be a few who grow sick of the sport and quit but for the ones that stick with it to the end there are soccer scholarships in their future and potentially more.

As some of you know my daughter has turned out to be a pretty good soccer player ( two first team all state selections, two district female player of the year awards and playing over 700 minutes as a freshman for the conference regular season undefeated champs SFA.. but even she will pale in comparison to these up coming stars just from sheer time on the ball...and to be quite honest that is what makes the Brazilians, Italians, Germans, British and Spanish so superior to us in the International world of futbol. The Quinn Indoor will be one of the finest investments into youth soccer this area has ever made with the exception of the fields that Cris personally invested in for BYSC.

Not to mention if you believe you've got skilz Wednesday Adult open play from 8-10pm is where the heavy hitters come out. I guarantee the level of soccer is some of the highest that anyone could expect to participate in bar none. If any of you know Tom Shenton.. he is one of the best soccer players that I have seen since the Jorge Cruz. And Tom is a regular in the Open Play and says he loves what the level of competition has evolved into. Not for the weak! That's not Tom's quote It's mine!

Come out.. get your kids off the video games or out of the streets and get some exercise and hone your soccer skills.

Friday and Saturday nights are for all skill levels... Wednesday OPEN play has evolved to advanced level only. IMO

personally I cannot wait to see what some of these current 10 and 12 year olds accomplish in the next four to five years.. Keep your eyes and ears open for names like Madison, Sophie, CJ, Garrett, Cole and many more......these are the regulars and current stars of the the Indoor.

God Bless Cris Quinn, his foundation and family.

And again to the top of the charts... I know that there are a lot of high school games going on with more important immediate impact .... but I want to keep this topic in front of you for at least another evening.. because just like God.... it is something I truly believe in.

Rip Out!

    • I will never understand why someone cares what decisions a family makes regarding their own child? Maybe Joe Burrow learns great life lessons from burning up all his eligibility sitting behind Justin Fields at Ohio State but I’m sure him and his family feel like they made the right decision by transferring to LSU, becoming the #1 pick and now being the highest paid QB in NFL history. Same for Kyler Murray, Baker Mayfield and Jalen Hurts at their first stops.    I think it was more beneficial for Reggie Branch to transfer to Crosby and end up having an opportunity to play for a state title versus staying at GCM and learning life lessons while he loses and probably doesn’t go D1 because his team is a perennial loser. If Robinson throws for 2k yards this year it’s going to be a lot better for his recruitment purposes than sitting on the bench at BH, not to mention he’s going to get significant looks because of the kids he’s on the team with and the offers/commitments they’ve already made. He’s not being taught to run from competition, he’s being taught to gamble on himself just like all those other guys I mentioned did. 
    • You have found Utopia. I live in the real world.
    • Every Yuppie wants one.  Give me a V-8 with loud pipes, and they can have their electric vehicles.  Was working a major incident one day and we had a road blocked off.  Police vehicles with lights going and a kid pulls up in a Tesla.  He - let me stress that HE is sobbing uncontrollably because he is at 5% battery life and HAS to go down the road we have blocked to get to a charging station.  He pulled over and literally threw a temper tantrum because we would not let him through.  
    • Have you noticed that it's always the libs that bring up race?  For a long time now whenever a lib is losing an argument or have nothing else to say they bring up racism.  Or something silly like institutional racism.  LOL!
    • Ha!  Whatever that means!
