757soccer.com is becoming a membership site!

 Sneak a peek at the new 757soccer.com!

Thanks to everyone who has visited 757soccer.com over the past 14 months!  Your response has been tremendous and very appreciated!

The Doors Will Open - Tuesday, February 5th at 6pm!

Why a Membership site?

Create More Of A Community - We feel it shouldn't matter what club you play for or what school you attend, soccer is the beautiful game to be shared by all of us!  Promoting soccer in every positive way that we can, will make for an overall better experience.  757soccer.com is very unique and was created for soccer lovers that reside in the 757!  There is no other website like this - focusing on one area and actively looking to expand the futbol passion that many of us share!  Wanting to do more is the driving force behind building a community!

More Video - We know how much the videos are liked and would like to increase our video coverage, especially in the upcoming high school season.  The only way to increase our coverage is to hire videographers!  We are in the process of adding one, hopefully two more to the video staff for at least the high school season! 

What's new at 757soccer.com. . . . .

My Soccer Space - 757soccer.com is creating the MySpace for soccer!  You will be able to add video, pictures, audio/music, build a profile, invite 'friends', and more.  This is a perfect way for family and friends that do not have the opportunity to see you play in person to be able to watch you play and stay current!  This also could be a great way to build an online Player Profile for those interested in college soccer.  We already have college coaches interested in putting together a school profile for interested student-athletes to check out!

2008 Time Capsule - 757soccer.com is creating a time capsule of soccer from the Fall 2007 Season to the Spring 2008 Season!  Everyone will have the opportunity to be a part of this very unique website!  If you are in any way connected to soccer in the 757, you will want to be a part of the Time Capsule!  It is a little bit hard to describe here, but when you see it, you will pick up on it right away.  There will be an added bonus for paid subscribers to participate!

Soccer Vids - 757soccer.com has installed a very cool piece of software that lets you watch any video from YouTube, right from the 757soccer.com website!  When you go and check it out, you will find that dozens of soccer related key words are located on the right hand side of the page in a 'tag cloud!'  Simply click on a keyword or phrase from the 'tag cloud' and all of the YouTube videos that contain that keyword or phrase will be instantly available for your viewing pleasure!  If you prefer to search for other videos, you can easily accomplish this with the search box located at the upper right of the page.  Each page can hold 25 videos and link to a maximum of 40 pages.  In all, 999 videos can be pulled in at once!  Click on 'Adidas Soccer' and you will see what we mean!  You can sit there for hours watching soccer video of all your favorite players and teams!!!

Special Features - This is where we display teams or events that might be a little out of the norm as far as soccer goes.  Events such as the Charity Bowl or Cox Alumni Game and teams such as the ACN Klinsman (Disney Showcase) and the Cheez-Itz (3v3 World Championships) fit into this category.  We welcome others that might fit into this section!

Remembrance - We at 757soccer.com want to remember those individuals from our soccer community that have passed away.  Nowhere else is there one location to keep their memory and contributions to our 757soccer world!  We believe this to be a fitting memorial.  There have been a number of people in the past few years that have left us.  Please let us know if you have a loved one that we should add to this page.

What's Coming To 757soccer.com. . . . . 

Charity - we are looking to identify a charity or charities that 757soccer.com can become connected to; possibly even create our own charity at some point in time!  Your suggestions to this worthy cause are very welcome!

College Scholarships - in the interest of doing more, we are actively trying to create and develop several scholarships for the 757!  Ideally - we would like to offer scholarships to both soccer playing and non-soccer playing students.  The main requirement will be that the student-athlete played varsity high school soccer in their junior and senior years.  The reality is that not every high school player will play in college, and so, we would like to offer scholarships to those students as well!

Contests - 757soccer.com will be creating different competitions for our soccer family in the 757!  These will be fun and exciting and of course there will be very cool awards to the winners!  Our first contest is being organized and an announcement will be made very soon!

Psyched On Sports - will focus on Sports Psychology!  It is a fact that most of your money is spent on the 'physical' side of training!  While there may be some 'mental' training associated with physical practice, most coaches do not have the time or resources to do more with the psychology of your sport.  Creating a more confident, resilient player ultimately falls into the parents hands.  We are in the process of developing several 'lessons' that will help both the player and parent to understand what this is and how they can benefit from a little 'mental' training!  Coming in April, 2008.
