Choices and Common Sense

• We believe in the common sense of parents who are best suited to choose their children's level and location of participation in any activity including soccer and most often, will make the best choice for the children.
• We believe children placed, by parental choice, under the guidance of professional soccer coaches and an unbelievable number of volunteers, are, most often, benefiting immensely from the lessons offered by participation in a high level soccer learning environment.
• We believe a league, which supports the clubs who believe this concept of player development, is necessary, ethical and missing.
