Playing helps build a better brain
“The experience of play changes the connections of the neurons at the front end of your brain,” says Sergio Pellis, a researcher at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada. “And without play experience, those neurons aren’t changed,” he says.
Many children in public school are getting less and less time outside, despite the documented benefits of free play.
It is those changes in the prefrontal cortex during childhood that help wire up the brain’s executive control center, which has a critical role in regulating emotions, making plans and solving problems, Pellis says. So play, he adds, is what prepares a young brain for life, love and even schoolwork.
But to produce this sort of brain development, children need to engage in plenty of so-called free play, Pellis says. No coaches, no umpires, no rule books.

iSoccerPath, a HUGE success
Thursday, June 1st, Brookvale Elementary.
What a great night for the Fremont YSC and iSoccerPath who hosted their first ever College Coaches Panel. Over 200 attended and heard presentations from iSoccerPath and Coach Robin Hart from Menlo College on how to get into college through soccer. The club did an amazing job hosting and turning out all their coaches.
Thank you to all the parents and players that attended last nights educational college panel, presented by iSoccerPath. A wonderfully successful night for players to learn more about the college pathway.
The first in what we hope to be many educational opportunities for the club.
Fall Recreation Registration is Open
Registration for Fall 2017 is now open.
From players born 2014 and through to 2003, our Recreation program provides an environment to have fun in playing, making sure the kids are the focus of the program, and giving youth sport back to kids… where it belongs.
Programs are age specific, following a long term pathway of progressions, with adaptations to curriculum content, practice frequency and program structure as the the player ages.
Come and join us for Fall 2017.
Know Your Club
Another great article from Coaching Outside the Box, and painfully true… if only clubs made it a priority to educate parents and coaches, and work together with other clubs, rather than work against each and play one up with their trophies and medals. Kids are missing out due to ego’s and unrealistic promises from clubs.
Coaching Outside the Box: Changing the Mindset in Youth Soccer
Mission Statement:
Our Soccer Club is a business. We focus primarily on driving profit margins and making as much money as we can. Therefore, we aim to have as many winning teams at each age group as possible because many parents who will pay our fees want their child to be part of a winning team, and/or perceive winning teams as success and a great place for their child to be developmentally. Therefore, our club is short-term results-oriented and we are 100% focused on winning as many tournaments and leagues as possible.
From this approach, we know that there will be so many casualties (kids dropping out of sport, losing interest in soccer due to bad experiences etc.), but this is not our concern. Furthermore, even though we are not doing what is optimal for kids’ best interests, we will still naturally have a small percentage of players who are genetically outstanding and will survive our approach and continuously having their own individual needs neglected in order to focus on building and employing winning teams. Additionally, some of these exceptional players will receive a college scholarship, and maybe even a minuscule amount of the tens of thousands of players that we coach may go on to experience playing professionally or even for the national team. This is very important for us and great for our business model. Because when this happens we can promote and market how these players reached these accolades SIMPLY because of how effective our club and coaching style is, and how powerful our training and philosophy (which we will claim is on ‘player development’) can be for young players. This in turn will attract so many more parents and players, allowing us to reach our main objective of making as much money as possible. We look forward to having you be part of our club, and allowing us to take your child to the ‘NEXT LEVEL’.
