Among the youths from age 7 to 17 the fastest growing sport in the United States of America and our neighbors in Canada in the game of soccer or better known around the world as football.
There are three states in particular that have massive numbers of children playing soccer all year round and the reason that they play sports or year-round in because all the states temperatures, those three states with the California, Texas and Florida, but unbelievably Arizona and New Mexico followed right behind them.
Some very important statistics are that the possibility of getting a college scholarship, or better still a sportsman scholarship from high school to college in soccer is one out of 16, so basically two players out of each and every single high school around this great nation will actually get free tuition and play soccer also in college.
While the baseball it is 786, football 493 and softball 399, so basically if you’re playing any of these resorts mentioned in this paragraph, your chances of getting a college scholarship or close to nothing, because too many people practice sports and there are not enough scholarships handed out by these rich colleges give children the opportunity to play the sport and to get an education.
I have been around the United States checking out soccer clubs very often, I do so because my son is a future professional, so I hope. One soccer club in particular that I noticed that had experienced coaches and a very good infrastructure was the Port Orange Soccer club based in Florida roughly an hour north of Orlando and 45 minutes south of Jacksonville where professional soccer teams play therefore the culture of soccer in that specific area is very high, consider that one out of three children in that town play soccer rather than any other national sports that are a lot more popular anywhere else in the country.
Do you have your children in soccer? If you do I suggest you keep them in soccer, if you don’t then I suggest once again that you put them in soccer, it could be a great investment for yourself and the opportunities for your children to continue playing in college and one may even professional are extremely higher than baseball, football, or basketball combined.
