word. My club team growing up has so many players that have made an impact not sure why St. Louis does not have a team. FYI both my kids made the local academy team and it has changed my life...I cannot start drinking until 9PM most nights. 6 days a week and Friday is my only off day...it is certainly a commitment but the academies are finally teaching the game with a European model...US soccer is on the up and up.
