Homeless Soccer Team Roots for New Life

Thu, 07 May 2009 16:23:36 -0500

This is a very inspiring article about a soccer team made up of people living in a homeless shelter in New York City.

"The idea behind homeless soccer is something like this: Take a group of poor people, disconnected from the regular rhythms of life, lacking both physical exercise and much to look forward to. Add soccer."

Attitudes are Contagious

Thu, 25 Jan 2007 18:37:43 -0600

Mass Youth Soccer has developed and produced an outstanding video focusing on the issues of sideline behavior of adults, and specifically on how that behavior is affecting the retention of qualified referees. While many have talked about the issue of adult sideline behavior, Mass Youth is the only organization to turn the talk into a valuable tool that teams, towns, clubs and leagues can put into immediate use to help curb unwanted noise along the sidelines.
