And just to put things in perspective, Foothills FC would most likely finish middle of the pack in the AMSL, which is comprised of current and ex Uni/College players. Most of the players on Foothills are not in their prime of course, and aren't all men yet. I wasn't going to mention the score in my game last night, because I didn't want to come across as tooting my own horn, but I think it's relevant to the conversation, as we beat FC Edmonton reserves 2-0. We're almost all north of 30, and we've literally not held a single practice this whole season. Those kids train 3-4 times/week. Again, they are kids, and they will develop further, but it does kind of go to show just how drastic that next step to real professional soccer is.
