Tim Horton replied to Richard Slade's discussion 'Attitudes are contagious'

Hi Richard, Great topic. I have viewed this video and think it does a great job of highlighting the behavior of some parents and the challenges that young and improving referees face but I think the feedback from the players is crucial for parents…

Fellas, Good Discussion topic, If you ask me at the moment its all about money, cash!! Who can bring in the cash and how. The intentions seem to be there by these MLS clubs because they want to develop players but at present they arent getting the…

Richard, This is a good video and dead on. I watch it and then think at times i have been negative toward a ref. its a fine balance though dont you think between arguing and then giving feedback to the refs so that they can learn from it. If there…

MLS Academies

Hi everyone,i have some questions about how some of the MLS teams have set up their youth academy structure.

At these clubs we had a main centre where all the better players were filtered through to but we also had regional centres which were set up to indentify and develop players who do not live within a close…See More
