Peter and Kirk discuss US Soccer's move to school year registration, what to expect with the move, and also try to figure out what the change is ultimately for.

Today's guests are Derrick Jackson and his daughter Annabelle. Derrick is a coach at PFA North and discusses his arrival at the club, what his first impressions were, and how his first experience as a head coach turned out. Annabelle has trained with the club for a few months now in preparation for playing college soccer and discusses the difference she's noticed in her game as a result of training differently.

Kirk is joined by Gary Kleiban of 3four3 to discuss how to evaluate youth soccer clubs and know if they are worth your time and money.

Gary's platform is host to multiple coaching courses as well as a player masterclass that can help players, parents, and coaches better understand the game and how it should be trained.

Kirk and Peter discuss the broken nature of the US Youth Soccer Pyramid, which league is "best", and why that's actually an unanswerable question.

In this first episode Kirk and Peter discuss what PFA is up to in Flagstaff and why we have a culture of risk-taking and aren't afraid of failure.

Can players really learn "life lessons" if all they do is collect plastic trophies? Do other clubs play it too safe? Are parents nerfing their kids' sports?
