#441: High school Champions' League — how it works, why it matters

It's a novel idea that started in Tampa and is now spreading to St.
Louis and south Florida, with coaches in several other places
considering starting one. When it comes to growing our country's
soccer culture from the ground up, it checks a lot of the boxes --
free, local, merit-based, and plugged into something that already
exists and resonates in America: high school rivalries. We talk
with Jim Harte, the guy who started this off in Tampa. We get into
a lot, including U6 soccer, of course. Check it out.

off Nov. 14: https://www.facebook.com/TampaBayTopTen
