#438: Ways to improve grassroots soccer

Belz is joined by Kirk Kinsey, director of Flagstaff Revolution, a
grassroots club in Arizona, and Jesse Howe, the director of
coaching at the Calvert Soccer Association, a grassroots soccer
program in Maryland. All three of us are working in the trenches of
rec soccer, trying to help more kids learn to love the ball and the
game. Jesse just got back from a national symposium on grassroots
soccer in Minneapolis, and he gives a brief report on that, and
then we just talk through a lot of the challenges and some
solutions that work in coaching U6 and U8 rec soccer. It's a long
conversation and we cover a lot of topics, but I bet you'll enjoy
it, find things to disagree with, and maybe even find a few things
to agree with!
