Fall weekends are time for playing outdoors. Above, families sit on the sidelines in foldable chairs, watching their children playing soccer at the Guilford College fields at New Garden Road. Weekends around Guilford County, it is almost impossible to find an empty field; they are all filled with people practicing or playing sports. It is heartwarming to drive by these fields and see everyone enjoying exercising out of doors. The 1990's saw participation in soccer burgeon in Greensboro. Today, there are all levels of play, available for players of all ages. From organizations like the Y to City Youth Sports to private clubs to school and university programs, soccer is everywhere.
According to the Harris Poll, National League Football is the most popular sport in the United States. And, while soccer might not be number one, it is number one in the hearts of all of those parents sitting there, living in the moment, enjoying their children playing their best. If you love soccer and have coaching talent, imagine yourself in the above photo, mentoring the children of Greensboro, teaching them not only the fundamentals of soccer, but also how to be good of good moral character. Coaches, sponsors, and spectators who are good sports are always appreciated. Happy Friday and happy weekend!
