The Benefits Of Soccer

This incredible publicity is expected to cause an explosion of female interest in soccer, already the most popular sport among college-age females, according to a recent study by the National College Athletic Association. Members of the U.S. women's soccer team say they are relying on future generations to keep their team supplied with talent. To take advantage of its time in the spotlight, the team launched a twelve-city tour against a team of world all-stars in the months following its win. They wanted to demonstrate to the USSF (United States Soccer Federation) that a woman's professional league would attract crowds and be financially viable. Players say a league is needed to maintain the growth of women's soccer.

I have played soccer most of my life for like about 9 years or more. I joined a competitive team with Katie and we were doing so well until the day has come . We had a tournament in Modesto and we were second place and we played Stockton for a second time . But we were in a tie and we just did a shoot out and yet we lost .I’d say that we did very well for a small team. I ‘ve been wanting to travel different states such as Canada,Arizona, Alabama,and

Lush, green grass began to massage my bare feet. Sunshine beamed off the clean, white goal posts. With my cleats in my hands, ball in my bag, and my freshly washed shirt, only one thing came to mind: soccer. The sport I love and have devoted the past three years was evolving. Many of my friends were shifting from recreational to club soccer. After three years of recreational soccer, I decided to take my game to the next level and tryout for club soccer. Eager to showcase my skills, I stood on the field bearing confidence. Before tryouts began, my thoughts solely consisted of playing club soccer with my friends. I thought little about tryout preparation, because I didn’t know what to expect. No one gave me information about how to perform well

It has faild to reach the fan base they wanted, and the MLS (soccer league) was close to be being shut down due to lack of fans and lack of income.

International expansion is brilliant but it's only half the battle. Placing more American Soccer clubs near Canadian Clubs will enhance MLS. The current league expansion plan won't achieve this goal. Minnesota, Atlanta, Orlando and New York ? aren't right next to Canadian borders. Placing a team in Detroit will boost the local economy and give Toronto a true rival. If the sport wants to grow in Canada and the states it should copy the Seattle Vancouver strategy.

American soccer is ruined for ever! The MLS is short for Major League Soccer which is a league in the United States of America. It is a new league as it is only 23 years old. It was founded on December 17, 1993. It bases off from colleges where there is a super draft every year, you can be put in into if you want to but there is usually not a lot of players in the selection as most of the better players go play off to play in the better leagues like in England or go train with youth clubs. This is why I believe that the MLS is a retirement home for old soccer players and will most likely be one for the rest of soccer history in the U.S.

Although, the case study of Manchester United gives us a good example of a brand’s ability to globalize, it does not give us a clear picture into how a league as a whole accomplishes these same goals. To get this clear picture of a successful global soccer league we can review a case study by Matthew Holt that examines the UEFA Champions League and its ability to succeed. The UEFA Champions League(UCL) was established after the UEFA European cup started to see more revenue increases based on the increase in television and digital technologies. (Holt, 2007) The goal of the UCL was to increase revenue through a newly structured European club soccer league. The first way that UCL accomplished this was through centralized marketing. This was accomplished through selling the television rights as the UCL brand rather than allowing the clubs to individually sell the rights to the games. This increased the value of the television rights and in turn increased the profitability of the clubs. (Holt, 2007) UEFA sold this UCL brand

For the first time in a long time apart is growing before our eyes. Lacrosse is thriving but it’s a niche sport. American Soccer’s growth is starting to resemble the popularity Baseball achieved. This popularity could be stabilized and even boosted by Collegiate Soccer.

There are even more options that take these rule changes a step farther. These options being alternatives ways to play sports like flag football. I am also okay with children playing these sports because of the possibility of their safer alternative forms which are not that different getting more popular. For example, there have been studies done regarding the difference in injuries between flag football and tackle football. One study done by Rachel Bachman showed this result. She found that 64% of concussions in high school came from when an athlete gets tackled or is being tackled. (Bachman). This is showing how research is coming out that might move people towards this type of alternative. Bachman even gives an example in this study of a

My resume will show a proven ability to recruit players at every level of soccer in the United States. I have a history of successfully recruiting players nationally and internationally therefor, my contacts within the game are extensive. The recruiting process is one I enjoy, furthermore; the challenge of competing against like programs for talented student /athletes is a challenge I thrive on.

When the league is created at University, students will have time to show their skills, talent and professionalism play to qualify for playing Major League Soccer. MLS known as Major Soccer League, is the biggest league in USA for men’s soccer league. They recruit soccer players through the college leagues, and since MLS has giving permission Minnesota Thunder to join the league. In addition to that, in this university we have 7,000 international students from more than 135 countries, including thousands of divers’ students who came to the state as immigrants. All these students love soccer because soccer is well known around the rest of the

Since the creation of man, sports have had a tremendous role in the way people live their lives. From the time we are born, until our elderly age, most of us are involved in some way with sports. Whether it is a scrimmage game of soccer at recess in elementary school, playing on the varsity athletic team or simply watching the Olympics or sporting events on television, sports have an influential role in our everyday lives. The outstanding popularity of the sports industry has profoundly affected youth sports organizations that an estimated twenty-six million children ages six through eighteen participate in at least one school or community based athletic program (Smith & Smoll, 1997). Well structured sport programs can provide youths with

I was born and raised in Illinois and grew up a big Chicago sports fan. During my time in college so far, I’ve enjoyed playing intramural soccer and involved in different organizations such as a leader for the Future Alumni Network and OnIowa! Professionally, I’m very driven, and goal-oriented. I’m highly capable of being a collaborative team-player. I’m a great communicator towards others with leadership attributes and relationship building.

One of the best ways to reach new markets would be to create an after school program. He could advertise it being a safe place for kids to release energy, learn life skills and removes the need for a babysitter. Perhaps he could team up with the local school and see if there is a bus that passes by his field to drop the kids off Dickens could advertise around the surrounding schools and local parks. Also another idea to bring a variety of customers in would be to host soccer birthday parties. There are many strengths to this option. It relieves the hassle of parents trying to find a daycare, after school program, or babysitter. The kids can get exercise and release energy instead of sitting around. Plus the parents won’t have to worry about their child getting the exercise they need. The birthday party remove the stress of hosting and planning a party. If soccer is a popular sport kids would love to have a soccer themed birthday party. If Dicken’s idea goes according to plan he would raise the community awareness between ages 6-9 above the current 40%. Also according to Alaska Youth Soccer, kids age 6-9 only need to practice 1 day a week. This means if more kids become to like soccer it would not completely disrupt the soccer schedule. It would be easier to find coaches and a time slot to host these new customers. However, a weakness is

Sports like basketball, Football, Baseball, and Tennis are all popular here in the U.S, yet, soccer doesn't get as much attention. The U.S international team has qualified for the biggest international tournament, The World Cup, for 32 years in a row. They never won the World cup, but they have been performing really well over the years. If soccer was more popular here in the U.S, they would have more people wanting to play the sport, causing them to improve massively as a team.
