Recommended Reading: Klinsmann Picks Up Pick-Up

Ryan Dempsey on U.S. Men's National Team coach Juergen Klinsmann's belief that youth soccer players should play more pick-up soccer:
Now the head coach of the U.S. national team, Klinsmann says the approach to soccer in Germany is a bit more similar to basketball in the United States--a combination of pickup and playground play as well as organized teams--than it is to the U.S. soccer culture, which for so long has revolved around structured training and having to pay to play for youth soccer clubs or organizations.
