Finding the Right Fit: Rec vs. Comp Soccer

Age Changes, Tryouts and Team Switches

This week on the Sideline Spill we are diving into one of the biggest conversations happening in youth soccer right now - the US Soccer age change, tryouts, team switches, and the emotional rollercoaster our families are navigating. But this episode isn't just us parents talking, this time we interviewed some of the soccer players too.  From fears about leaving teammates behind to pressure during tryouts and how they really feel about the changes, their answers were honest, funny and surprisingly insightful.  Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2603118/fan_mail/new]

Sideline Spill: Off the Deep End

In this episode, we’re putting ourselves in the hot seat and playing How Deep Will You Go? — a question and answer game that takes conversations from funny and lighthearted to unexpectedly real.  This episode is all about letting you get to know the women behind the microphones — not just the sports moms on the sidelines. Some answers made us laugh, some caught us off guard, and a few got a little emotional. So grab your coffee, settle in, and come spill with us.

When Your Kid is Struggling - Part 2

Part 2 continues the conversation—because holding space is just the beginning. Now we’re talking about what comes next. How do we help our kids move through those big feelings?  In this episode, we dive further into guiding without fixing, and knowing when to step in—and when to step back. Because growth doesn’t come from avoiding the feelings… it comes from learning how to navigate them. And we’re right there beside them, figuring it out too.

When Your Kid is Struggling - Part 1

Big feelings don’t stay on the sidelines. They show up in the car rides home, on the field, in the quiet moments after the game, and in everyday life. Part 1 of our 2-part series is about learning how to hold space for our kids instead of rushing to fix it. To listen without solving. To support without pressure. To give grace—to them and to ourselves. Because sometimes what they need most… is to feel seen, safe, and understood. Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2603118/fan_mail/new]
