A great article that hits home for ECSC.

This article outlines the same core ideals that ECSC has promised to fight every step of the way.

- Finding a solution for high "pay to play costs"

- Providing an alternative to multi million dollar programs. Some of which are located in our own back yards

- Making sure the kids are the priority 100% of the time

- Ensuring that we provide options and accessibility for all players while providing advanced level training at a rate that is in many cases 1/8 of the mega clubs that we have here locally.

In part one of our series on American youth soccer, we spoke with U.S. Soccer and MLS to find ways to improve a kid’s experience from the beginning.

Sunday's second ADP session was fantastic!

The U12B worked on pressure and cover exercises while some other age groups worked on advancing quick transitions and breaking defensive lines.

Well done ADP, well done!
