I have four front row seats at midfield for tonights @LCLeviathanFC vs. @ClevForceUSL match tonight at ForeFront Field.

First to comment below gets them, that simple!

Playoffs bound! Just a great group of boys all around, a true team.

Congrats to Nicky T. Over the years, there have been changes to the roster, but he has been a constant, one of the leaders, the glue that helps bring it together on and off the field.

Well deserved buddy!

@LaceUpSoccer @IHateSoccerPod $3,000 is pretty much the normal price tag for most clubs in Northeast Ohio, none of which have an MLS affiliation.

@AkronCityFC As the owner and native Ohioan, I am biased, but these are my favorite to date! Thoughts @REFLOG18 @OhioTate @KingJames @AkronJackson @The_Kitsman @AkronMagazine

Great to see Lorain County Leviathan. USL League Two club, partnering with Inverness Caledonian Thistle, professional club in Scotland that is currently in first place in Scottish League One. The Beautiful Game…

I’ve seen a couple hundred Maradona’s attempted in youth games over the past 9 years, I can count on one hand how many times the move was actually warranted at that moment.

And now, for your entertainment, a lesson on how to properly play out of the back

[Nick Turchan @NickTurchan]

@Chileanstud11 Nope, just wait, more coming over the next 3-4 years!

I love to see self deprecation in marketing, an underrated strategy.

[Don Williams @Don_K_Williams]

After assessing tens of thousands of youth players it’s my conclusion that the through ball ⚽️ & balls into space are overused in the USA 🇺🇸 & Canadian 🇨🇦 youth system

The idea of playing to feet, to the correct foot with pace & circulating the ball quickly to draw the defending team out of spaces is rare

Every pass cannot & should not be a “killer pass”

“People always asked "Why do you pay so much money for your kid to do sports”?

Well I have a confession to make; I don't pay for my kid to “to do sports”
Personally, I couldn't care less about what sport she does

So, if I am not paying for sports what am I paying for?
- I pay for those moments when my kid becomes so tired she wants to quit but doesn’t

- I pay for those days when my kid comes home from school and is “too tired" to go to her training but she goes anyway.

- I pay for my kid to learn to be disciplined, focused and dedicated

- I pay for my kid to learn to take care of her body and learn how to correctly fuel her body for success.

- I pay for my kid to learn to work with others and to be a good team mate, gracious in defeat and humble in success

- I pay for my kid to learn to deal with disappointment, when they don’t get that placing or title they'd hoped for, but still they go back week after week giving it their best shot.

- I pay for my kid to learn to make and accomplish goals

- I pay for my kid to respect, not only themselves, but others, officials, judges and coaches

- I pay for my kid to learn that it takes hours and hours, years and years of hard work and practice to create a champion and that success does not happen overnight

- I pay for my kid to be proud of small achievements, and to work towards long term goals

- I pay for the opportunity my child has and will have to make life-long friendships, create lifelong memories, to be as proud of her achievements as I am

- I pay so that my child can be in the gym instead of in front of a screen

- I pay for those rides home where we make precious memories talking about practice, both good and bad

-I pay so that my child can learn the importance of time management and balancing what is important like school and keeping grades up

I could go on but, to be short, I don't pay for sports

I pay for the opportunities that sports provides my kid with to develop attributes that will serve her well throughout her life and give her the opportunity to bless the lives of others.
From what I have seen I think it is a great investment!”

Two years ago, we kicked off an incredible partnership with National League North side South Shields FC — one of the best-run non-league clubs in the UK and home to a fast-growing international academy in a region that reminds us a lot of Akron.

Now, as the season hits the final stretch, they sit just ONE point out of the automatic promotion spot to the National League.

Today at 2:45pm ET, it’s a massive home match against top of the table AFC Fylde.

From across the pond, we’re backing South Shields FC all the way. Let’s get it done.
