To start a team: The Beginning
In September of 2018, I was scrolling through YouTube.
After all, at the time, I was just your average 12 year old kid.
Right?
See, I have a crazy obsession for soccer.
Obsession, passion, everything you could say that means 'he lives through it', that's who I was.
So, back to the point - I was scrolling through YouTube and found a video about my now friend, Dennis Crowley.
I watched the video about how he started an amatuer soccer team and I said to myself, just like any other 12 year old kid, 'why don't I start a team?'.
Thus, the idea began.
I got some friends to join along and we did it.
We had jersey concepts, a logo, and even application papers to join the league.
The one thing we didn't have?
To give you a hint - it's green.
Money.
So after a good two months of blood, sweat, and tears, we called off the team, but I still remained passionate about the idea of starting this team.
Since then, I have promised myself to start a team by the time I graduate high school and enter the 'real world', but what does that phrase mean?
The majority of the people (not everybody) who say that very phrase, aren't happy with what they do.
They're not satisfied. They live for the weekends.
But there are 7 days in a week, why not make the most out of all 7, right?
So, in context, I want to enter my 'real world', that world that I want to live, before high school.
As I re-start the team with hopes of joining the Garden State Soccer League, NJ's biggest amateuer soccer league, I look at what I want.
What I want real.
I am currently looking for sponsors for my club, message me and we can work out pricing (I am by no means asking for millions, this is just an amatuer club, keep in mind), so if you are one or know somebody who is interested, let me know.
I thank you all for reading this far in not the most structured of articles. It's more of a 'classic blog', where I write as if I were talking.
Thanks again and stay healthy everybody.
Peace,
Chris Dailey
