Congratulations to you and your son.
I played soccer year-round from the age of 13 on. MRFL and I want him to have a broad exposure at this age so he can find activities that are good fits to which he can commit more completely when the time comes. We elected not to have him involved in both the developmental team and the local league this time around - it was my intent to get him involved in cub scouts instead provided he is still as excited about the notion as he was at the end of the year recruiting assmbly for the local packs.

Incarcerated - those videos look great - do you feel they are at the right level for a 6 year old? He's not even played in a league with goalies to date.
