From the President: State of Soccer

September 21, 2012

Petoskey boys and girls soccer coach Zach Jonker, the first-year president of the Michigan High School Soccer Coaches Association, talked with us Friday about all things MHSAA soccer – past, present and future.

Among topics discussed: Changes in the game since Jonkerd's high school playing days of the 1990s, the boost that comes when the U.S. national team is successful, and the effect the U.S. Soccer Development Academy is having on boys soccer this fall.
