In this episode we tackle the competitive years of youth soccer development (ages 13-15), when players transition to full-field soccer and families face an expanding—and often confusing—universe of options. We'll break down the landscape of local, regional, and national leagues, talk about the costs of travel soccer, and discuss the tournament gauntlet that defines this phase.

Sean Black from Fort Wayne United Soccer Club joins us for the conversation as we seek to help you navigate the increasing level of competition while maintaining perspective on what matters most for your player and family.

Catch us live at 9pm every Monday night, or later in the week on your favorite podcast directory.
