re: Who here has played soccer? Competitively?

I run a pickup soccer group that plays every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at the LSU Natatorium at 6PM. Our Facebook Page

I organized an indoor team for the new indoor center.

I play coed BRSA summer league.

Started playing soccer in fifth or sixth grade. Played through high school, then did intramurals in college.

I just got an offer to help coach at my high school but had to turn it down since I'll be leaving the country in September.

i played from when i was about 8 til after my jr. year in high school. now i play in the adult indoor and outdoor ymca league in montgomery, al. i'm 23.

Plyed since i was 3, cooled off when i was 16-18 but now im at uni i play 5 and 6 a side once a week and a couple of 11 a-side tourney about the year.

Was never academy level, but some of the guys i play with are. One played for Australia at the '08 olympics, another has played for Real Madrid and Man City academies, Oldham athletic semi-pro..him and a couple of guys on the team i play on have trials at Preston in September....yes thats as close to name dropping as i can come, and yes i'm probably the weak link in the teams

Welcome to the club buddy, the big penis club.

Can somebody start a thread "Who here has been paid to play soccer?" I wanna know if you have made a living by playing the beautiful game...

Played for my high school team growing up in Florida and on a club team as well. Actually played in 2 state championship games at The Swamp in Gainesville.

Played club/intramurals at Alabama and coached various U6, U8, and U10 teams for the YMCA while in college.

I helped coach my son's select team for the past 6 years and volunteer for the ODP up here.

Now he will be playing school football during club season, so sadly, he won't be playing select any longer. He will play for the school team however.

I was a keep and a sweeper.

Played from 5through high school. Then played coed leagues on and off til now. I am 33 now and have two indoor teams that I sometimes play for. One is coed that I help out when I can. The other is a mens team that I have philosophical differences with, so I only play when they absolutely need me.

The traveling team I played on was damn good even though it wasn't really a select team. Won state for non select in Louisiana a couple times among other tournaments.

High school team was always solid but never made it past the quarter finals.

looking forward to watching you play

I played until I was 12. My parents wouldn't let me play on a competitive team because of the travel* and I was way too advanced for the rec teams. It got to the point where I had an extremely bad attitude because of boredom/frustration so I moved on to other sports (football and lacrosse). I've played several seasons of indoor over the past year or two.

*My sister was on a travel softball team and I'm 100% convinced my parents wouldn't allow me to join a competitive team b/c it would interfere with that. Yes, I still hold a grudge...

I've never played any more than the occasional pickup game. I've played Ice Hockey from 12 till now. I found in the last few years ive picked up a few things from soccer and translated them into hockey. Mainly passing into space and where the guy is going to be, not where he is.

I'd love to start playing soccer, but at 26 it seems a little difficult to find a place to start as a beginner.
