My organization that I have chosen to develop is a soccer academy based here in the United States. As soccer is not the most popular sport in America the opportunity’s for children are very slim and at the moment the only chances they are given that are valuable, require people to pay, with this in mind I hope to change that with my soccer academy idea. My idea derives from the system that is in place in England, here every professional team and even semi-professional teams have academies and youth systems that allow them to recruit young players and develop them within their club with the hope they will one day make it to the first team or possibility that than could be sold to another club for profit. These academies are extremely professional …show more content…
I think by adopting this academy here it will not only raise the profile of youth soccer but it will allow America to start developing more home grown players and also increasing the profile of American soccer as a whole. As I can’t speak for every club in the United States and tell them all to adopt a free of charge academy, I would hope to receive sponsorships in order to fund this academy as Nike in England have funded the a similar idea and braded it the “Nike academy”, by hopefully gaining these sponsorships and creating a successful academy this will then convince American soccer teams to start adopting the same …show more content…
I also hope to influence all soccer teams in the US to adopt this system as it is not only beneficial for them but for the players as well as youth development is something that is seriously overlooked in the country. The values I will create will be a serious and professional environment that will allow players to feel comfortable in their surroundings while being able to enjoy the sport they love and at the same time receive crucial training that will hopefully aid their development. My ultimate goal is to eventually find professional soccer teams for these players and see them pursue a career in professional soccer. One final point that I want to make clear is that I want my academy to be part of another organisation rather than one on its own, for instance like I discussed earlier we have the “Nike academy” in England, I want to replicate this to the United States and hope for a company to sponsor my idea in order to make this happen. This organization will be strictly non-profit and all players will be able to attend free of charge, I like to think of this as a secure investment for any company that takes part in this as it has already proven itself successful in one environment, so there are
Twenty years ago the United States started their first men’s soccer league. The Major League Soccer (MLS) started out in 1996 with 10 teams and has continued to grow the sport of soccer and the league currently has 20 teams. On the other hand, women’s soccer started a league after the U.S. women’s national team won the World Cup in 1996, but they failed to bring in revenue for the federation. The women are now on their third league and are starting to bring in the same sales as the men. Currently, when it comes to the national teams, the women are bringing in money for the federation while the men are losing the federation money, because they are not winning as many games as
Soccer should be available at SCHS because it would add to our sports and schools around us have it. Soccer is a really fun sport to play because soccer is a team sport. There is a lot of people I know that would love for SCHS to have soccer as a sport. The sport it's not only for "Mexicans" as people say so. Here is the United States the sport is pretty popular. Too. Been places where they are about soccer, and love it.
Currently, MLS (Major League Soccer) needs to adopt a strategy that will lead to continuous growth; specifically with regard to increasing market share and revenues. The NASL’s (North American Soccer League) failure caused by over-expansion makes MLS cautious to adopt a business expansion strategy. Although MLS has overcome several difficulties in previous decades, it still has a long way to go for its business goal: becoming a top-ranked professional soccer league. Given the presence of fierce competitors and popular market substitutes, such as the NFL (National Football League), MLB (Major League Baseball), and NBA (National Basketball Association) have attracted the majority
The article focuses on the strategies used by the soccer Coach Roberto Gonzalez that allow his team to not only succeed academically, but also succeed on the field. In the beginning he believed in winning and that there is nothing more important than being victorious. After reading the Pyramid of Success, Gonzalez obtained a new outlook on how to coach. He “takes pride in his players getting A’s and B’s in the classroom” and tries to make sure that everyone has a chance to accomplish something (Sondheimer). One of the players on his soccer team, Justin Lopez, scored very high on the SAT and he is also exceptional on the field. In many of the low income parts of Los Angeles, immigrants have soccer unite them as a family. Lopez says that while
Soccer may be the world's’ most popular sport, yet this isn't the case in North America. MLS franchises have traditionally targeted the young family demographic. One of the major issues with this approach is that these families typically only go to one or two games per year. Focusing too heavily on this demographic partially shows why MLS is having a hard time turning a profit.
The city of Everett is home to Casino Road an infamous street with a growing crime issue facing their youth. An abundance of their youth live below the federal poverty line, lack a structured support system, and are destined to repeat the cycle they live in. This issue led to the creation of the Casino Road Futbol Academy. An annual one-week camp that focuses on teaching children the fundamentals of soccer as well as a brief distraction from the life they live. Throughout the years, I've participated in various activities but none have had the same positive impact on me than coaching for the Casino Road Futbol Academy.
As a fan and a soccer player, which is called “Foutbol” in my country (Haiti), I watched many talents go to waste. Back home we didn’t have the proper equipment to train and play the beautiful game of foutbol. Most importantly, we lack the soccer knowledge that prevented most of us from playing on a professional level. There are many places where children are playing the game with their bare feet, and unorganized. Although, many others recognize the problem, not one, including our government, ought to make a change. With this in mind, Nick’s Foutbol Academy & Complex was born where I will be able to provide soccer players in Haiti the necessary gears for practice and games.
In various sports around the world, discovering the worthiest and most gifted individuals to embark on the journey of becoming an elite level athlete is no small feat. For many organizations in sport, this process known as talent identification (TI), is based on the evaluations of often very young individuals’ potential, and whether or not the attributes they possess can be groomed to produce success in later years. With the ever growing demand to watch a winning team, owners are pressured to find an attraction with low investment and high reward. The efficiency of this talent assessment provides teams with the commercial benefit of recruiting youth at very young ages, eventually selling them for massive transfer fees. Therefore, the use of such programs have tremendous impact on the overall sporting experience and careers of many young players, stressing the need to understand the fundamentals of talent identification not just on a business level, but also with regards to youth involvement in sport.
NOCO Soccer Academy is a successful youth soccer training program is the market that Dyer has been targeting. Dyer wants to grow his business enough to reach his strategic goal of building a sports complex for his business to occupy. Dyer needs to double his business in order to support this goal. In using S.W.O.T. analysis to evaluate NOCO’s current situation it is clear that NOCO has a number of things working for it already; customer retention is very high, awareness of NOCO in its’ current market is close to 100 percent and Dyer has access to enough trainer resources to continue his company’s growth. Some of the obstacles NOCO faces in working toward expansion are loss of customer base to high school sports programs after they reach 14
I know every sports fan wants to be in charge of their favorite team because, obviously, they know how to run the team better than the people in charge. Well, I say I want to be in that role because of the people I will be able to connect with. The players I bring in, the coaches they work with and the people in the front office will all work together on a common mission. While that mission is winning on the field, it should be much greater than that. As one of the great unifiers in the country, football has the ability to be a platform for greater change and community impact. Being in charge of a team would allow the ability to not only shape the product on the field but also the product in the community. This program would provide me with the opportunity and the resources to learn how the league and teams are run. Once I better understand how things work, I can do my best to build on the success and further the positive impacts of the
Our soccer team here at Liberty High School women and men both are Affected through the underfunding and underappreciation of our school. Most all of our money goes to the football team who have 5 jerseys and chrome helmets they never wear with a lot of combinations soccer has 2. The high school needs to realized in the last two years our football team has won 10 games our soccer team won 14 last year not including tournaments and yet they get the money. And our complex it is just plain horrible and we will not really ever play at the high school. Along with these nobody ever goes to our games which is bad for player moral. Bottom line is the student body along with the boosters need to notice that we are a good team it’s not all just football.
Growing up here in the United States, the sport that became my passion was never a popular sport with the rest of the country. I have been playing soccer for the past 16 years, including one year in college before I transferred to UConn. Despite the lack of interest from the society around me, I quickly fell in love with the fast paced, high intensity nature of the game. I knew from an early age that if I could not make a career on the soccer field, I would have a career around the field. Since Soccer does not have the popularity that the football or basketball has in our country, I hope to recruit new fans and players and help the sport grow in popularity. The rest of the world has already grown to love the beautiful game and I feel that as a country, we are missing out.
al., n.d) This model teaches kids how to play a sport out of the context of a game, for example they can be taught how to pass, shoot, control a ball but they can have issues implementing these skills into a real game because they dont understand tactics within a game environment, they can also find re-doing a skill repeatedly until they get it right rather boring, and if they find it boring there will be a lack of motivation to continue with the sport.

Community Factor: Soccer League. My chosen community factor is the 6th through eighth grade soccer league. For my instructional strategy, I would use the cooperative learning method. I would put together a soccer unit for students to practice their skills and techniques individually and in small groups. The activities and instructional strategy will connect to the chosen factor by increasing the student’s knowledge about soccer. I will create different soccer activities that coordinates with cooperative learning. Activities such as keep away, passing/trapping, dribbling, mini games are some examples that will be performed by the students.
