It's that time of year again for Golden Touch Fall Soccer!

As with any sport, skill, and fun levels increase with the more opportunities kids have to play and practice. There are so many creative ways to introduce children to the game and to continue lifelong learning through activities that focus on the most fundamental skills in soccer: passing, receiving, and controlling the ball, shooting, and dribbling.

With all activities, the focus should be on encouragement, enthusiasm, teamwork, and enjoyment. The more a child grows in their knowledge and love of the game, the greater the chances that they will become lifelong enthusiasts of wellness and physical activity.

QUESTION FOR SEIDMAN: Biggest soccer influences and why? My club soccer coach Winston Buddle. He’s been my coach since seventh grade, and he has taught me how to play and understand the game at a higher level. Coach Winston incorporated not only his own professional experiences but those of his son Edson (US National/World Cup, LA Galaxy player) on and off the pitch when teaching our team over the years. When Winston first started coaching me, I was relatively good technically, but he developed my tactical game and understanding of the game as a whole and has turned me into the player I am today.
