Part of the fun of being a youth soccer blogger is finding other sites from other youth soccer coaches and parents.

Bet You Thought D Class Killed Me…
Sorry for the extended absence. Here I go to get my ‘D’ coaching license and then disappear – makes you wonder what they did to me! It definitely was an intense and exhausting class. Thankfully it wasn’t 95+ degrees every day and we had some great kids volunteer to play during our evals, allowing us [...]
Looking Beyond The Blog
A number of changes are in store for On The Pitch this year, but before any could be implemented, the front page itself needed a major overhaul. What do you think?
Three Years Later…
Figures I’m late with this post. My parents and players know all about ‘coach time’ because it seems I often can’t tell time. Oh well.
Hard to believe it’s been three years of blogging about youth soccer. My five readers have hung in there through thick and thin (I kid – we’re up to ten, but [...]
Look Where OTP Showed Up
WÂhen I signed up for BlogBurst, a sort of clearinghouse for large media outlets to pickup blog posts for republication, I doubted any of my posts would ever get selected for republication. So imagine my surprise when two of them were recently selected by Reuters. It’s pretty cool to see something you wrote published on [...]
US Soccer and the SoccerSphere
Josh at Throughball takes US Soccer to task over their disregard for the many soccer blogs out there covering US Soccer on a daily basis. Clearly US Soccer can do more to leverage the SoccerSphere and expand the reach of US Soccer online.
Wonder If This Thing Still Works…
Remember when I wrote about being certifiable? Well, coaching two teams, plus having three kids playing soccer who aren’t on either of my teams made for a really busy soccer season. I barely had time to breathe, let alone write. I guess I could have written some, but I was pretty wiped out. So lets [...]
Yes, I Brought This On Myself!
Long time readers know I can disappear for stretches, usually during the youth soccer seasons, and this time is no different. I’ve been buried, but I brought it on myself. Let’s see… Three kids playing soccer, two on travel teams, plus Soccer Dad is coaching a U10 Rec team and a U11G Challenge team that [...]
Another Youth Soccer Blogger
I’ve really enjoyed blogging about youth soccer these past few years, but it has been a lonely existence. I’ve found a few blogs by Soccer Moms and sporadic posts from youth soccer coaches on personal blogs, etc. However, I never found anyone else blogging about youth soccer most of the time, or even some of [...]
The Bus Missed Me By Inches
Don’t worry guys – I didn’t get run over by a bus. Somehow the off-season in June became a really busy time, so I’ve hardly had time to think about blogging (and mowing the grass!). But I’ve got LOTs to write about, so sit tight. I see a light down ye ole tunnel and should [...]
Cheering Good, Coaching Bad
I ran across a new soccer/youth sports blog by a soccer mom who also works for the Albany Times Union (which I read often in college as I went to Rensselaer) Joyce Bassett writes very detailed posts about local youth sporting events as well as more general pieces about issues in youth sports. One category [...]
730 Days Old!
Two years ago I fired up WordPress and decided to give blogging a go. I honestly didn’t think I’d make it 6 months. Granted, I don’t post daily – just don’t have the time. But hopefully I’m posting enough to keep it interesting for all 20 of you including you there in the back. I’ll [...]
Checking Out The New Digs
Well, we’re on our new web host – hopefully the only thing you notice is faster page loads. If you notice anything wrong, missing, or unusual, post a comment or drop me an email.
Off The Post!
Just a heads up that I’m planning to move On The Pitch to some new hosting digs in the next few days. Hopefully you won’t notice anything (except faster response times!), but worst case, you may not be able to get to the site for 15 minutes or so. Once we’re at our new home, [...]
