BRYC Elite's Taraneh Khayam has won US Youth Soccer's Save of the Year award. Six teams from Bethesda Soccer Club were champions or finalists at the U.S. Futsal 2014 Maryland State Cup. The Baltimore Blast invited 13 year old Jacob Barford, who was diagnosed with Evans Syndrome, to their practice last Wednesday. The employees from the Ellen DeGeneres show heard about it and put it on the "The Good News" section on their website. ---- Notes ----
D.C. United participated in the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service by working with City Year to help beautify Calvin Coolidge High School in Northwest D.C. NASL has announced the schedule for the 2014 Player Combine, which will take place at the University of California, Irvine from January 24-26. USL PRO has announced the coaches for the 2014 USL PROCombine, which is set to kick off at IMG Academy on Thursday and run through Sunday.

The full list of the 2014 Jefferson Cup boys accepted teams has been released. Girls acceptances to come shortly on the Jefferson Cup website.

Want them to play with urgency? Tell them the final whistle is about to sound: Can a whistle really be the most powerful force in a young player's life? Only if it's the "final" whistle. Both athletes and coaches discover the urgency when the last seconds tick down. Wouldn't it be great if we could harness the mindset -- this final-minute push - in the development of our young athletes? But how asks Dr. Wendy Lebolt in this week's Kicking Fit blog post.
Tesho Akindele the pride of Colorado School of Mines after SuperDraft selection: Until Thursday's MLS SuperDraft, not many had heard of Tesho Akindele of the Colorado School of Mines (CSM), an NCAA Division II side that plays in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC). Akindele has now been catapulted into the spotlight after the forward who majors in electrical engineering was selected sixth overall by FC Dallas in the SuperDraft.
