Let me start by saying that I refuse to believe the above statement is true. Yesterday marked the conclusion of the annual US Youth Soccer adidas Workshop. The show wasn't too bad and I came away surprisingly impressed with Pittsburgh as a city. Hopefully San Jose won't disappoint next year.
Yesterday also marked the first ever "Kick Zone" geared towards attracting more Pittsburgh locals to the event. Exhibitors including Fox Soccer Channel, AC Milan, Pittsburgh Riverhounds, and Columbus Crew. Each group had fun soccer activities that were enjoyed by the PAWest youth.
Outside the event, there were numerous signs that included the above picture. It was mostly a liability statement, but even in the scope of the rest of the sign, still seemed out of place.
With 3.2+ million players in the US Youth System and various sessions over the weekend on the importance of KidSafe and background checks, one would hope US Youth Soccer would be more careful with their message in the future.
