Hi Everyone,
I would like to share a soccer book I've written called: "Money Grab $$: A Parents' Guide to American Youth Soccer" It has gotten as high as #3 on Amazon in the Soccer Coaching category.
If you've every wanted a map or guide to know what you will face as a parent new to Recreational Soccer, Competitive, or your player wants to play in college or even become a pro, or adult soccer, this book covers the entire player development lifecycle.
Having lived through the last 50 years of American youth soccer history as a player, Coach, Referee, Professional Goalkeeper in the original Major Indoor Soccer League, College Head Coach, High School Head Coach, Club Coach, and Club President, saw Pele come to play in America and more. Just like Messi came to America to everyone's delight! We didn't even have Club Soccer. High School was all there was available!
This book also teaches you all of the FUNdamental skills a player needs to be successful at any age, how to play as a team and what costs are associated with soccer make sense to spend on and those that don't. Here is the book's link on amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Money-Grab-Parents-American-Soccer-ebook/dp/B0B9T79LMG/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.cC-81Vgh1tXEOzM0RjbiWXiE3-hSyhN2Y5bUJRdVdUT-tZG9s1eITmc2gKK67FUwpfhwVNywdwHFjxDW1Twj_DvpJGoVFZODrArPhwuxwUtzjnzCr8_jQXafI0ObCGDhOVjwL6oMJUUJjO31oyy9kfq8DklMjfH2Ej10LazYHRP4PGJ-e0FUbOpWQ6bzAV25aLYZAGG-pVKgBrTW8GCgrw.gmsrv_o53KfcssVmBjILfarAVJT7L5rK8CfQ6X82hWo&qid=1710632762&sr=8-1
Please share this with your Parents, Coaches, and Players.
Thank you!!

All teams will play a minimum of 4 games.
3 team divisions play round robin where each team plays each other 2 times. Divisions with 3, 5, 6 will play round robin and 1st Place will be determined by most points.
If you are in a 4-team division, you will play 3 pool play games and then a final game with 1st v 2nd, and 3rd vs 4th to get 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place medals.
Any team placing 1st, 2nd, or 3rd will qualify for Nationals held in Palm Beach Florida this November 30 and December 1, 2024.
I have tried to accomodate ALL of the requests, especially those driving from far away places. : )
To see where and when you are playing, please download the 5v5 Soccer app from your App Store, then go to MAy 19, 2024 5v5 JAcksonville, FL and then click Schedule, the middle icon. You can then select Divisions or Teams on the bottom to see your schedule.

With all of Sunday traffic in the area, please allow yourself enough time to be at your field 30 minutes before your first game and 10 minutes before the rest of your games to ensure they start and end on time and we stay on schedule.
