There are plenty of options to watch girls and women's soccer over the next few weeks. The high school playoffs begin this week and there are many local teams in the playoffs. My hat goes off to the teams that won regular season and/or tournament championships in the area. Cardinal Gibbons, Ravenscroft, Green Hope, Wakefield and Leesville Road all took crowns!
Next Wednesday, May 18th, the US Women's National Team will play Japan at WakeMed Soccer Park. This will be the next to last tuneup for the US Women before heading to Germany for the 2011 FIFA World Cup! Come see the #1 ranked team in the world with all their players in attendance take on the Japanese National Team!
Also, the NCYSA State Cups are going on! A great day to see great soccer is Saturday May 21st as that will be semifinal day. All the semis for all the participating age groups will play at Bryan Park in Greensboro. This will be an all day affair with semis being held for Challenge, the President's Cup and the USYS levels. There should be plenty of CASL teams to cheer on!
A great way to help a young player's development is to allow her/him to watch as much soccer as possible. It is always good to have the player see better levels of play, especially levels that the player aspires to play at that level in the future. Take in a Game or two--you'll enjoy it and the player's game will benefit from the experience!
