"In my mind the grass roots is where it all begins. It is a must that we focus on the young ages and the coaches that are working with them. We must put development over winning and make sure that activities are developmentally appropriate for the age group. Set high standards for sportsmanship while instilling the love and passion for the sport of soccer." Keith Hagen, 2009
