About this listen

In this episode of Off the Beaten Pitch, Alan and Alex dive into heart of the game: pick-up soccer. From empty lots and gravel roads to church fields and schoolyards, we explore how unstructured, player-led games shape creativity, resilience, and a love for the game in ways traditional training often can’t. We share personal stories, insights from coaching in rural communities, and discuss why letting kids "just play" might be the secret weapon in youth development. Whether you grew up in the game or are coaching the next generation, this episode is a celebration of the beautiful chaos that is pick-up soccer. If you have a topic you'd like us to talk about hit us up on our socials.
