Ohio Bull, my competitive team did the same type of thing when i was 16, I am now 22. We were a team from hernando county and qualified for the Region C premier league which consists mostly of teams from Pinellas, Hillsborough and a team from Sarasota and Lakeland. It was funny playing in white tees with numbers penned on the back and winning our way into the league at a qualifying tournament. We did get jerseys after that and our team cost was like 75 bucks for the entire year. We beat some pretty good teams during our time together as a team including the Miami Strike Force. I will never forget when we upset strike force and the look on their coach's face. All their players were talking sh!t before the game about us being from the middle of nowhere and then we beat them. Ahh Priceless. As for them not allowing you into the league, that is BS. As long as you can pay the fees for league entry, make the games, and are on a talent level equivalent to the teams in the league they have no basis to not let you guys play. It sounds like the rich boys from the cleavland area are afraid of losing to some outsiders to me. I'd be persistent on getting your kids into the league, playing better talent will only help to improve your team. As far as Terry knocking soccer as a woosy sport thats just his mentality. He's a football guy and football is a rougher sport, and also a sport that requires you to wear hug amounts of proctective gear. He knows that I would slide tackle him if he ever dared dribble past me hahahaa. I'm not trying to knock on football because I love the game and played it also.
