Abstract
The "beautiful game" is thriving in Hampton Roads. Two new professional soccer teams now play in the region and thousands of children, teenagers and young adults play on pitches from Williamsburg to Virginia Beach. We look at the demographics of soccer, how the model of youth sports has changed in America and the prospects of growth in the coming years.
