It can be confusing for the average player who plays foosball as a hobby to be expected in taking it to the next level. It's true for those who want to learn will figure it out, but it takes time, and is still confusing.
I would like to see a healthy discussion around how to improve the formation / organization around leagues , and the creation of more local community driven events.
All of our most popular sports today are supported thru the development of farm teams, and players. Who worked thier way thru these programs to establish support and a continued following.
Baseball, football, Softball, Hockey, Scoccer, Basketball are all successful becuase of leagues. All other sports not regulated and taught to our kids have been slow to grow a following and TV presence this includes FOOSBALL.
