    Just come right out and tell us to go make you a sandwich already.

      Not everyone has the drive to go make opportunities like that, but if the clubs or state/national bodies support, formalize, and advertise opportunities it would help.
      LHIFA in New Hampshire are doing some good work too

        My buddy is doing something similar in Manchester, NH. His goal is to get kids who cannot get into clubs at a young age some exposure to the game. It's purely volunteer work, but he has several local HS and club coaches to help him out.

        It's worth noting, however, that this is to gain exposure to the game for youngin's. After, it's got to be handed off to someone who can dedicate more time to it.

          Really ? Is that how your mind works? Extrapolating the meaning of my post with the deranged behavior of a monster ?

          Thanks, but I can make my own sandwich.

                As for these volunteer expert coaches...there is nothing from stopping them today. Where are they?

                Really!!?? Tore an ACL walking across the field. I submit that it was going to tear at some point anyway.

                  Possibly, but who knows. Never had a problem with it previously, and just came off a 4-year college DII career with no issues. Just walking back calmly, hit a hole, and popped.

                  Face it...town fields are management by government workers. You get what you pay for.

                      Exactly. And you only get those that are willing/able to pay.

                      This is what I played on as a kid:

                      Ideal? Hell no. Letting kids play who couldn't otherwise afford to? Definitely.
