How big is soccer in the United States?
As my children are now playing competitive soccer, And I noticed that hundreds of other children from my area are also practicing soccer in one way or another, it is either with the YMCA or the city recreational programs, or even with a nonprofit soccer club. One thing that I did not know and I am actually very surprised that the most practice sports in the United States among children from the age of 3 to 10 is actually soccer.
I was talking to a good friend of mine from the city of Port Orange, on the other side of the nation over in Florida, he runs a Goalkeeper Academy And I asked him if he knew the numbers on a nationwide scale. Being a fully licensed coach and most probably one of the best goalkeeper coaches in Central Florida, he knows his numbers as well. California is the states where soccer is practice the most and not just among children in second place we have Texas but it only had a third of the numbers California, third Place comes Florida and they only have a quarter of our numbers.
What is the fastest growing sport in the United States of America? Yes sir! Soccer! In 1992 it was the ninth most practice sports in the country today it is the fifth, of course the national sports such as football, basketball, baseball and softball a very difficult to overtake, but as many experts have already said, soccer should be the number one sport in the United States within 2050.
