It's that time of year: Jersey Area Girls Soccer (JAGS) Tournament. This year is the 30th annual.
As I detailed last year, it is amazing how well the tournament committee operates. The main reason is a hard core group of people, including directors Tom Bayless and Rick Firth, who have been around forever, know what they're doing and do it well.
I just sent out our 2nd e-mail blast to 277 college coaches and am looking forward to seeing 50 or so of them June 19 and 20 at Mercer County Park.
About This Soccer Blog
Welcome to Coach P’s Soccer Blog! Writing whatever I feel like whenever I feel like it about the world’s most popular sport is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Now that I have retired from coaching, refereeing and being a club administrator, I have the time – when my day job as a lawyer permits.
About this blog
I plan to write about whatever comes to mind in the world of soccer – maybe a club game, or a news item from a European league, and a lot from Philadelphia’s new pro teams, the Union and Independence. A lot of content here will be my opinion – and you’ll know when it is – and a lot plain news reporting. I hope it will be objective and professionally written and that it will provoke thought or at least be interesting and entertaining to a soccer fan.
Eventually, when I figure things out, I’ll have more organization and specific pages by topic, pictures and various soccer links.
I won’t pretend to be comprehensive. I won’t have the time, the resources or the desire to fully cover any one league, team or age group.
And you will often find references to songs in my writing. It’s a habit I have, but I find I am not alone. I have found that Dan Shaugnessy, excellent sports columnist for the Boston Globe, has sprinkled references to songs in his work.
