Hostile takeover of USYS? E757

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  ARIZONA SOCCER ASSOCIATION JOINS UNITED STATES CONSORTIUM OF STATE ASSOCIATIONS  PHOENIX, AZ (MARCH 7, 2024) – The Arizona Soccer Association (ASA) announced today that it is joining the United States Consortium of State Associations (USCSA) as part of a seven-member expansion to the organization. With this announcement, the USCSA brings its current membership to a total of 14 state associations, representing more than 800,000 players.   “Arizona Soccer Association (ASA) is honored to be joining the Consortium of Soccer Associations,” said Jonathan Berzins, CEO of Arizona Youth Soccer. “The ability to connect and share with like-minded leaders and forward thinkers truly aligns with ASA goals and mission. ASA is excited about what this consortium can achieve for all membership in conjunction with a continued partnership with USYS.”  The USCSA believes that State Associations can provide an anchor in local soccer communities by providing exceptional service, resources and inspiration that grows soccer participation by unlocking the potential within each of those communities. Traditionally, each State Association has its own governance, policies and procedures, and resources, which limits the ability to scale and incorporate efficient solutions. The organization aims to expand its influence, reduce costs and enhance services by scaling operations together. The USCSA wants to evolve the traditional model by integrating business strategies and shared resources to increase efficiency and effectiveness of each State Association member. To maximize its success and potential, the USCSA will rely on its core values of Trust, Innovation, Compromise and Alignment.    “The USCSA is thrilled to add each of our new members, and we know their expertise will help accelerate our efforts,” said Evan Dabby, USCSA President. “Specifically, this expansion will enhance our efforts leveraging these individuals’ experience with Competitions, Finance, Grassroots Programming, Women in Soccer, Club Development and Administration.”  USCSA Membership Includes (NEW MEMBERS BOLDED:  ARIZONA YOUTH SOCCER (JONATHAN BERZINS, CEO)  Georgia State Soccer Association   Indiana Soccer (Dave Guthrie, Executive Director and USCSA Secretary)  Iowa Soccer (Dan Cataldi, CEO)  Kentucky Youth Soccer Association (Kris Zander, Executive Director)  MASSACHUSETTS YOUTH SOCCER (ROB HOLLIDAY, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND USCSA TREASURER)  MICHIGAN YOUTH SOCCER (THOMAS FARO, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR)   NEW MEXICO YOUTH SOCCER (GLORIA FABER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR)  New Jersey Youth Soccer (Evan Dabby, Executive Director and USCSA President)  Ohio Soccer (Gordon Henderson, CEO and USCSA Vice President)  SOUTH TEXAS YOUTH SOCCER (JENNIFER DAVIS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR)  Tennessee State Soccer Association (Hans Hobson, CEO)  UTAH YOUTH SOCCER (BRYAN ATTRIDGE, CEO)  VERMONT SOCCER ASSOCIATION (MEG MUNSON, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR)  ASA continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the soccer landscape and enriching the lives of players, coaches, officials and fans alike.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/coachcameron/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/coachcameron/support

Youth Soccer & the Fear of Failure | E735 | Freddy Haase

#STATECUP #YOUTHSOCCER #FREDDYHAASE Over the years, youth soccer has undergone a significant shift in focus, with many players and parents placing more importance on the league or club they belong to, rather than the actual competition itself. This shift has led to a decrease in the value placed on competitions such as state cup, as clubs and leagues prioritize their own interests and reputations over the success of their players. One of the main reasons for this shift is the increasing commercialization of youth soccer. As soccer has become more popular and lucrative, many clubs and leagues have become more focused on their own success and financial gain, rather than the development and success of their players. This has led to an emphasis on creating and promoting elite teams, rather than supporting all players and teams at all levels. In addition, many parents and players have become more focused on the perceived prestige of certain leagues and clubs, rather than the actual competition they are participating in. This has led to a culture where players are often more concerned with the name of the club or league they belong to, rather than the skills they are developing or the competitions they are playing in. The consequences of this shift in focus are significant. Players are often pushed to compete at levels that are beyond their abilities or developmental stages, leading to a lack of enjoyment and burnout. Additionally, the emphasis on the league or club can create a toxic environment, where players feel pressured to win at all costs, rather than focusing on their own development and teamwork. The decrease in the value placed on competitions such as state cup is also concerning. These types of tournaments provide young players with an opportunity to compete against their peers and showcase their skills on a larger stage. However, when clubs and leagues prioritize their own interests over the success of their players, these opportunities are often lost. To combat this trend, it is important to re-focus on the importance of competition and the development of all players, regardless of their skill level or the club or league they belong to. This means supporting players at all levels and providing opportunities for them to compete in tournaments and competitions that are appropriate for their abilities and developmental stages. It is also important to prioritize the development of sportsmanship and teamwork, rather than the win-at-all-costs mentality that is often associated with the commercialization of youth soccer. By creating a positive and supportive environment for young players, we can help to promote a love of the sport and a focus on individual and team development, rather than a focus on the league or club. In conclusion, the shift in focus towards the league or club, rather than the competition itself, is a concerning trend in youth soccer. By re-focusing on the importance of competition and player development, we can help to --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/coachcameron/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/coachcameron/support

Youth soccer in America can expose kids to different cultures and help them to appreciate diversity. Cons: High Cost: Youth soccer can be expensive, with costs including registration fees, equipment, and travel expenses. This can make it difficult for some families to afford. Time Commitment: Soccer requires a significant time commitment, with practices, games, and travel taking up a lot of time. This can make it difficult for kids to balance soccer with other activities and responsibilities. Burnout: Some kids may become burnt out on soccer if they are pushed too hard or feel too much pressure to perform. This can lead to them losing interest in the sport altogether. Injuries: Soccer is a physical sport, and injuries can occur. This can range from minor injuries such as sprains and bruises to more serious injuries such as concussions. Overemphasis on Winning: Some youth soccer programs may put too much emphasis on winning at all costs, which can be detrimental to the development of young players.

High School or club soccer with Dan Salas | E731

#soccer #coronadelsol #highschool #club From Trainlikelegends.com High school soccer is one of the most memorable times of an athlete’s career.  Playing alongside friends for four years on your home field is an experience unlike any other.  Bottom line, the camaraderie established in high school ball is difficult to replicate.  Depending on the size of your school, however, the competition may vary.  Prestigious private schools and large public schools often have an advantage over small public schools. Private schools will often recruit public school players, and large public schools have a prospective field of thousands to choose from.   Club Soccer is somewhat like an all-star team, and the rosters are typically composed of players from multiple high schools.  The old adage may not ring true across the board, but more often than not, the best high school players also play club soccer. Typically, club soccer is more competitive than high school.  Club teams will often play year-round, so the kids that sign up for it are typically more committed to soccer as their main sport.  This fact immediately raises the level of internal competition. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/coachcameron/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/coachcameron/support
