Hi Everyone!!

First, I would like to take a moment to THANK YOU ALL for playing with us in Saturday's Palm Bay 5v5 and for the kind words we received with your feedback!! All of the standings are updated and I will be sending medals out to the team contacts in the system.

Please post the great videos you took of your team on your social media and tag our 5v5 Instagram and Facebook sites.

Truly a great day of soccer action with hard work, smiles, and FUN until the rain came!!

If you would like to play with us again, our next area 5v5 event is Sunday, August 3 in Aopka. Hope to see you there!


Next, 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 today when 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 to copy into your browser: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

Hi Everyone, I just spoke with the Host.

Given the severity of the lightning and the large band of rain to come, we are ending the tournament now. There is so much water on the fields, it will not be safe to play.

i will send medals based on how the divisions currently stand to the contacts who registered their team.

Thank you for understanding and safe travels home.

Please immediately go to your cars to be safe!!

If your game was in the second half, the score is final.

If you are still in the first half, we will resume play from where we stopped play.

We will send a mail when it is safe to resume play.
