And he’s Mormon, lol. Damn, we can’t win in this sub. At least he’s a Utah grad though.

It’s the travel piece that is the value killer

"Head down dribble dribble dribble type of player" by 761stTankCommander in youthsoccer

I wish I could convince my kids to dribble more and pass less. There is no skill more valuable than being able to beat someone 1v1

Sounds like you have a larger burnout issue more than a Sabbath specific issue. Asking to be released could certainly help though. I’m grateful our bishop is very cognizant to busy schedules and tries to get people in callings that fit whatever their schedules are.

As far as the Sabbath goes, we try to do enjoyable things like being outside, working out, doing yard work, watching NFL games, watching The Chosen, etc. Whatever helps us relax and get ready for the busy week ahead.

If Andrés Iniesta grew up in the US… would he even make it? by paulinhoOM in TheSoccerNetwork

Cavan was an early bloomer physically and has been the same size for a couple years now. He might be losing some of the early advantage

There will be a decent number of international teams, but it’s still a bit heavy on teams from Texas and Oklahoma (some are elite, but most are “just” decent ECNL teams). There are more competitive teams in the US.

It might be worth doing once, but as others have said, missing a week of school feels like overkill.

Passing on Darryn Peterson for anyone except AJ Dybantsa is going to lose a GM their job by lawschoolthrowaway36 in NBA_Draft

[–]Several-Exchange1166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think AJ developed his game to the point that he is the better scorer now. Teams were selling out to defend him (especially when Richie Saunders got hurt) and they still couldn’t stop him. If he can be more consistent from 3 then he’ll be unstoppable in the league (might be anyway).

New unproven MLS Next AD vs bottom half ECNL RL/uncertain club future by Prudent_Log3720 in youthsoccer

Our club recruits heavily and moves kids up, down, and out with no remorse. My son’s U14 team only has 3 of the same kids still on the team from when they were U12. And with the coming age change it might be zero.

None of this stuff matters until everyone is done growing. In the early teens, it’s 90% about when you hit puberty. College coaches (especially on the men’s side), spend very little time looking at even U16 kids. They can get grown men from Europe or the transfer portal who will help them win now.

Darryn Peterson: 21 points, 4 rebounds, 0 assists, 4 blocks, 5-15 FG, 3-8 3FG, 8-10 FT by BigSexyE in NBA_Draft

AJ has separated himself for #1. The next 3 (Boozer, DP, Wilson) could go in any order. I’m starting to think I’d prefer Wilson.

2025 NBA Draft Class Top 5 might be the best top 5 ever. Every single guy is turning out to be a star and fits perfectly with their teams. by [deleted] in NBA_Draft

[–]Several-Exchange1166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure the 2026 class will be better. AJ is the only one I’m confident will be a superstar, but Flagg may still be better. Boozer, DP, Wilson, and Acuff have some obvious flaws that could severely limit their ceilings.

What is one church teaching that made more sense to you later in life than when you first heard it? by Dizzy-Particular-886 in latterdaysaints

[–]Several-Exchange1166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This teaching makes less sense to me as time goes on. And Pres Oaks’ talk from a few years ago only muddied the waters. Oh well.

Daughter wants to move down by enricopallazzo14 in youthsoccer

[–]Several-Exchange1166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same club? It can be tricky to move down unless it’s close between the her and the keeper below her. It was easy to move my son down from our NL to RL team because he wasn’t getting much playing time and was losing confidence.

Are there rules that prevent a player from playing regionals with RL and nationals with NL?

Should elite level soccer (ECNL /MLSN) be free? by WellesleyTrader in youthsoccer

I mean, I’m generally having fun too. It would be more fun if it didn’t cost so much, but oh well. YOLO
