A KICK OF INSPIRATION: No monkey business here - just philosophies for success in youth soccer and in life. The MONKEYSOCCER movement was named after a girl's youth soccer team, but it is for all soccer players, coaches, supporters that want a little inspiration. Our quest is to improve the girl's game and to promote a grass roots campaign for the success of Professional Women's Soccer WPS & WPSL. (Go Breeze!)

Big Dreams as Monkeys are Proud to support the Pride

The 2010 WPS season has kicked off and with it, I am reminded why this league is so important to young women everywhere.

I recall attending sporting events as a young boy with my father and the feeling I got when seeing the same games I played in the school yard being played professionally. Endless big dreams of inspiration were gained from those experiences. I realized that there was indeed a point to practicing hard at something. I think now that much of the excitement was off the field rather than on it.

Your Daughter is Calling You!

Attention Soccer moms and dads, your daughter is counting on you.

Once upon a time, there was the WUSA. With stars like Mia Hamm and Julie Foudy, the women of the WUSA gave the women of tomorrow a positive role model and objective to strive for. They gave these girls a reason to work harder for continuous improvement as well as a drive not to give up.

Sadly, as we all know the WUSA folded amidst financial ruin leaving a void in Women's pro sports and in the hearts of countless young fans.

They Call it The Beautful Game

Football. The Beautiful Game. Not the pointed oval American game, but the one we call soccer - where you actually use your foot.

Why has it become so important to me and why is it so "beautiful"? Some say it is beautiful because of the spectacle... The way the game flows... the way a group of players work together, coordinate passes and move the ball up field.
