Should I pursue certification?
I played (poorly) back in high school, some 40 years past. Still love the game and my local MLS squad. The game played today feels different from what I learned to play but that’s just rules changes. For example, for a while I was a keeper and we had 3 steps/dribbles to get rid of the ball. I was also taught goal kicks had to be taken from the side of the box the ball exited the pitch.
All that being said, even as a 50+ has been (never was?) I love the game.
I’ve debated going through the training and getting at least local grass roots qualified if not NHS. I know why I should, but I guess I’m most curious about why I shouldn’t.
