D.O.C. Message - Soccer Time!

It will not be long until we are playing matches and representing ourselves, the club and the South Western Iowa community in CBFC green. The club has its' two first premier teams (U18 Boys & U18 Girls), has doubled the amount of boys teams (from two to four)from a year ago, has an A and a B team for three age groups (U11 Girls, U11 Boys and U13 Girls), has six players attending Iowa Soccer Association's ODP camp this month, has had two players (U14G Tara Nelson and U18G Alex Bohnet) training and competing with their respected ODP pools. In so many ways we have progressed and evolved as a soccer community. Who would have thought three years ago that CBYSA and CBFC would be joined in an academy program? Or that there would be 12 USSF 'D' licensed coaches and three USSF 'C' licensed coaches?

We are proud of what we have produced but the point of recognizing the progress stated above is not to brag or boast, but to remind us that even though we are developing a stronger and more unified soccer community we are still battling for recognition, legitimacy, and respect from, not only the metro area, but from the very city that we represent. Please remember that we are to represent our community in the finest fashion possible. Allowing the parents and fans to cheer, our coaches to coach, the referees to officiate and most importantly letting the players PLAY. The game is so fun when the objective is to showcase ones individual and team development learned in training. The players in CBFC are becoming more technically sound and learning to be more soccer savvy that in return has been developing a passion for soccer not only with the player, but with their families as well.

I leave you all with a challenge; to continue to develop a passion for the game as well as further your knowledge of the game. The best way to do this is by watching soccer. There are so many opportunities now days to see some high level soccer. Below are some ideas:
