Opening this permanent location means more opportunity for kids to play soccer indoors in North Brooklyn. We're so excited to expand our offerings and be able to bring different programming to our community.
I think when this first was announced, there was this feeling there would be 10 NFL players on that roster, and I'll be surprised if there's one. I think we have plenty of players that can acclimate, but it's going to take a month or two.
Leaders are expected to set clear direction while remaining open to challenge. To move quickly with decisive action while also taking people with them. To hold authority while fostering shared ownership and to deliver results without eroding trust.
ICYMI: The 2026 Winter Olympics are currently underway in Milano Cortina. From the "Quad God" to all the athletes winning gold, there has been a ton of buzz around this year's games. And while we watch history happen, let's take a walk down memory lane and see how fan-favorite Olympians have transformed over the years: 1. To start, Michael Phelps made his first Olympic appearance at the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney, Australia, when he was just 15 years old:
People tell me it will stunt their growth or that it's dangerous, she says. She is also often accused of forcing her children to train, when actually it all started the other way round. What child doesn't look at their parents and want to do what they're doing?

Coaches and teammates rushed in, and one boy appeared to kick the player from the opposing team. Security and administrators broke up the tussle, but this time parents made it to the center of the action.
At the curling station in the gymnasium, students pushed forward little benches on wheels that they use in gym class instead of using curling stones. The school also created a scoreboard. "Not everything is perfect," Robin said. Upstairs, there was an ice fishing station, where the school set up cardboard boxes with white construction paper meant to look like snow on the outside. It magnetized fish and seals and put them inside.
My son is 7, and he loves soccer. Since he was 3, he's played on local rec teams that have weekly practice and Saturday games at a nearby park. These are not really competitive leagues, more for kids to have fun. This league is really good about not pushing the kids too hard. Last year, three different coaches approached us after games to encourage us to have our son try out for a travel soccer team.
"We have a golden retriever, and so I walk her three or four miles a day, and I do a weight training class twice a week," says Brown, 62, of Arlington, Va. She knows muscle mass will decline without regular strength training. "We have a fun group with a personal trainer and we call ourselves the Beastie Girls," she says, describing how her group helps her stick with it. She also plays tennis and golf.
If I told you I have played football for 15 years, you'd probably assume that I'm decent. Unfortunately, I am not. I have three left feet and a not-very-convincing shot on goal. Despite how many years I have put into the sport, these things show little to no improvement. I play football for the joy of it: the rush of the first whistle; the exhilaration of making a successful tackle or a clever pass;
On a cool Wednesday afternoon before the US Open last year, Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev were busy fine-tuning their games in an intense practice set at Louis Armstrong Stadium. Danielle Collins and Christian Harrison, semi-finalists in the mixed doubles tournament, were scheduled to take their place at the hour and the American pair duly arrived a couple of minutes before their allotted slot.
