I Don't Want My Kid to Play Travel Soccer for a Selfish Reason. One Day, He Might Resent Me for It.

My son is 7, and he loves soccer. Since he was 3, he's played on local rec teams that have weekly practice and Saturday games at a nearby park. These are not really competitive leagues, more for kids to have fun. This league is really good about not pushing the kids too hard. Last year, three different coaches approached us after games to encourage us to have our son try out for a travel soccer team.

A battle between soccer parents and the NFL erupted during Super Bowl 50. A decade later, Santa Clara is trying to ensure that won't happen again.

When Santa Clara hosted the Super Bowl in 2016, the Youth Soccer Park next to Levi's Stadium became the center of a fierce legal battle between soccer parents, the city and the league. At the time, the NFL intended to transform the soccer fields into a media village as part of a longtime agreement with Santa Clara that allowed them to utilize city-owned facilities around the stadium. But just days before the league was set to begin preparations for the Big Game, the Santa Clara Youth Soccer League took the matter to court, unsuccessfully seeking to block the takeover.
