This narrative U.S. soccer's history and present-day status
addresses the issues of socioeconomics. Emphasizing the differences
between social classes in U.S. soccer past and present, as well as
those between American soccer and international football, this work
analyzes the role of class in American soccer's failure to carve
out a more prominent place in the sports landscape. Contemporary
soccer is explored from its beginnings in informal Parks and
Recreation leagues to the development of formal club programs, and
university, professional, and U.S. national teams. In recent
decades, Hispanic leagues formed primarily by Mexican and Central
American immigrants have reinforced the theme of a class-based,
exclusionary space in U.S. soccer. A personal perspective based on
the authors' experience coaching soccer at the informal level
broadens the book's appeal.
