Welcome. As SoccerPlus continues to evolve and grow as a company, we have an ever growing number of staff and directors and with attrition and ever growing number of former staff and directors. So the vision for this group is to have a place for us to be able to share articles, anecdotes, experiences and anything else you can come up with in order to carry on the "late night" directors meetings that have been taking place for more than a quarter century.

We have the Facebook staff only group for social purposes and to be inclusive. This group is meant to serve senior staff - a place in this forum needs to be earned, just as you earn the right to run programs and camps.

SoccerInteractive.com, for those of you who haven't been on here before, is a SoccerPlus partner and we will continue to work with them to enhance what we do. You will see their presence in more and more of what we do, including the NSCAA Convention and the Champions Clinic.

Welcome. I hope you will all take the time to throw an article up and contribute to the viability of this group, because I believe it can make us all better at what we do.

Read. Post. Discuss.

Comment by Tony DiCicco on April 8, 2010 at 2:36pm: Hi everyone. Its exciting to see so many SPGS alumni in the MLS and WPS either as goalkeepers or coaches. There is no question that SoccerPlus Goalkeeper School still provides the best and most innovative goalkeeper coaching available anywhere.

Comment by Anthony DiCicco on April 2, 2010 at 10:15pm: We have an exciting announcement to make. This week SoccerPlus will be launching a new initiative geared towards individual player development. It is still being tweaked, but it's almost ready to go. It'll be called SoccerPlus Skill of the Week.

You can find it at: www.soccerplus.org/skills and we'd love to hear your feedback, suggestions for other exercises or just share it with others once it launches.

A huge credit to Shawn Kelly, Dave Newbery, Jason Grubb, Tim Larocca and the rest of the behind the scenes team here for getting this off the ground. It's a pretty robust project but one that we think supports our mission while filling a need.

Please share your thoughts on here or privately with me at anthony@soccerplus.org.

Cheers.
