A new feature has recently been released for Demosphere's Online Registration System. By default, the system includes the ability to run custom reports to generate specific sets of information gathered by the system.

Now, administrators are able to save these custom reports for use in the future! Rather than defining the same parameters time after time, administrators can now reference and use saved reports at their convenience. In addition, descriptions can also be added to better define the content of the report for easy access moving forward.

This afternoon, I came across an interesting article drawing comparisons between types of players on a youth soccer team and their (grown up) social media professional counterparts.

The piece, written by a social media expert, has gotten tons of buzz online by making unique comparisons between these two unlikely sources.

Is coach - player violence ever justified? That's the question being asked in Italy after Fiorentina coach Delio Rossi was fired for assaulting a player during a match last week. The player was unhappy to be substituted and Rossi took offense to his comments and gestures. Following his firing, Rossi was suspended for 3 months by Italy's Serie A league. Below, you can watch the short sequence transpire.

Have you ever seen a situation like this at a game? If it was a youth game, how would you react? What should be the consequences? Should coaches be held to a higher standard as a result of their position? Let us know what you think!

A new feature is now available for the Online Registration System!

Users currently dividing program fees into multiple installments now have two credit card payment processing methods available:

Across America, being active can be defined in a varity of ways. Some play soccer, some play baseball, and some ski. In Kansas, the Department of Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism conduct youth hunts. A recent turkey hunt in Topeka included 15 kids from 10-16 years old.

While not everyone agrees with hunting, the events get kids outdoors and moving around - more so than playing video games, for example. In the quest to fight childhood obesity, local communities need to continue to be proactive to find ways to get kids active in ways that excite them. In this case, it's hunting.
