🇩🇪⚽️ AMERICAN BOYS. GERMAN REFEREE. ONE POST-GAME INTERVIEW.

After our game against TUS HALTERN, we caught up with German referee Kaan Gümüsdag to get his perspective on officiating the American boys playing here in Germany. 🇺🇸🇩🇪

🎙️ Does he prefer refereeing alone or with linesmen?
⚽️ What’s it like officiating American players?
🏟️ And the ultimate goal… does he see himself refereeing in the Bundesliga one day?

He has the dream. 🇩🇪
Now it’s about earning the whistle. 🔥

🎥 Watch the full post-game interview.

No Mic Needed With Coach Eddie
PASS. MOVE. CHECK. REPEAT. 🔄⚽️

Step into a training with Coach Eddie as he breaks down one of the most important habits in the game: staying switched on.

Be on your toes. Stay available. Constantly check into space. Don’t watch the game — be part of it.

The ball moves, and so should you.
Pass & move. Pass & move. Always ready for what comes next.

DON’T STAND. STAY ALIVE.

Coach Eddie explains the importance of being on your toes, alert, and ready for anything.

Checking into space. Making yourself available. Moving the moment you pass.

Because great players don’t wait for the game to happen — they’re already thinking about the next play.

Pass. Move. Get available. Repeat.

⚽️ Growth happens when you’re willing to learn.

Sunday our U12 Team played vs Peter Peschel Akademie. Today we broke down the game together-every moment, every lesson, every opportunity to improve. Winning is great, but development is built in moments like these. Proud of this group for staying locked in, asking questions, and choosing to get better. The work doesn’t stop when the final whistle blows!!
What do you think is more important for young players??

Just three old friends catching up…

Except one is an assistant coach at Borussia Dortmund.
One is a former 2Bundesliga Player.
And the other built a youth soccer program backed by a World Cup defender.

In football, your connections aren’t just your network — they’re your story.
