| As part of our continuing effort to service and educate our membership, each Thursday U.S. Soccer will provide an informative article from one of its departments. Once a week, we will bring you an article/paper/essay that will hopefully enhance your enjoyment and knowledge of the game of soccer - on and off the field. From the intricacies of the fourth official's duties to caring for your body after a 90-minute match to how a coach should handle his players, these articles are selected by U.S. Soccer officials and geared to the fans, players, coaches, administrators and referees of this beautiful game. |
