have always said that America needs soccer to become a street sport more than it needs a France style academy system.

After I came back from France, I contacted US Soccer to try and get funding to start a program to put in street courts in several major cities. It ended up not being a successful proposition, unfortunately. How they can’t see that this is absolutely necessary to make Soccer on par with with the big three is unfathomable to me.

But, it looks like Target is doing exactly what I wanted to back then. I’m glad someone is finally doing it, and a little disappointed that I didn’t try the corporate route to secure funding.
