Steven Curfman College and Amateur Curfman grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina, attended Athens Drive High School and played club soccer with the Capital Area Soccer League before being selected to the U.S. Soccer U-17 Residency Program in Brandenton, Florida in 2002. He was also selected as a McDonald's and Parade Magazine All- American in 2003. Curfman played college soccer at Wake Forest University, where he was a four-year letterman under coach Jay Vidovich. In 2003, his freshman season, he started 13 games and appeared in 20, and scored nine goals and 13 assists, which earned him a spot on the All-ACC Freshman team. In his sophomore season, he started 17 games and appeared in 18 and scored 1 goal and four assists. In 2005, he started 20 games and scored 5 goals and 3 assists before suffering a knee injury prior to the NCAA Tournament. He was named to the All-ACC Tournament team and All-ACC Academic Team. During his senior season, he led the squad in games played (23), assists (8), point (20), and shots (50), and 2nd in goals (6), in helping his team reach the #1 ranking, the ACC regular season co-championship, and the school's first- ever appearance in the Men's NCAA College Cup. During his college years he also played with Raleigh CASL Elite in the USL Premier Development League. Professional Curfman was drafted in the third round (30th overall) of the 2007 MLS SuperDraft by Real Salt Lake, whose coach John Ellinger had been his coach during the U-17 residency program. Curfman saw no playing time with Salt Lake, and was released at the end of the season. On March 7, 2008, it was announced that Curfman had been signed by his hometown USL First Division team, the Carolina Railhawks. He scored in his first game with the RailHawks, a 1–1 tie with the Atlanta Silverbacks on April 19, 2008, and went on to make 30 appearances before being released in March 2009. He signed with the Wilmington Hammerheads of the USL Second Division in April 2009, and played for the team throughout the 2009 season until the team folded at the end of the year. Curfman played the amateur team CASL Elite in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in 2010; his team won their regional qualification group (which also featured NPSL teams FC Tulsa and Atlanta FC) before falling 4–2 to USL Second Division pro side Charleston Battery in the first round of tournament proper. International Curfman was selected to U.S. roster for the 2003 FIFA U-17 World Championship in Finland, where he started three matches, and scored his first international goal against South Korea on August 14, 2003. In 2004, he earned three caps, starting one game, with the United States U-20 men's national soccer team. .

Caribbean Teams in North American Professional Soccer: Time for a New Direction?
Caribbean Teams in North American Professional Soccer: Time for a New Direction? Glen ME Duerr Department of History and Government Cedarville University 104 HRS, 251 N. Main Street Cedarville, Ohio, USA 45314 [email protected] RASAALA, Vol. 5, No. 1 (2014) 1 Caribbean Teams in North American Professional Soccer: Time for a New Direction? Abstract This paper examines the interrelated issues of time and money in club and international football. Specifically, the focus is on small Caribbean countries and territories that are rich in talent, but poor in opportunities. In the past decade, several professional teams in the Caribbean have played in the minor league system in North America, but have been stifled by several factors. This paper argues that the creation of a ‘Caribbean division’ that plays in either the North American Soccer League (NASL) or United Soccer League (USL)-Pro league would enrich and develop teams and players from all parties involved, and they would be more competitive in FIFA World Cup qualifying. The key ingredient is correctly timing such a venture. Keywords: Caribbean, soccer, North America, USL-Pro, NASL RASAALA, Vol. 5, No. 1 (2014) 2 Introduction Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF), the regional governing body of soccer in North America, Central America, and the Caribbean, sends three and a half teams to the quadrennial FIFA World Cup. The fourth-placed CONCACAF team plays a home and away playoff series against a team in another region, either in Asia, South America or Oceania, depending on the rotation. On every occasion since the number of berths was expanded to three in 1998, the United States and Mexico have taken two of the berths.

Ohio Soccer Association North
OHIO SOCCER ASSOCIATION NORTH Cleveland’s first soccer league was organized in 1906 and became an American Amateur Football Association (AAFA) affiliate when the Association was formed in1912. In 1913, a dispute arose between the American Amateur Football Association and the American Football Association, which was affiliated with and subordinate to the Football Association of England. As a resolution, the AAFA became the United States Football Association. In January, 1915 the Cleveland League was superseded by the Ohio State Football Association as an affiliate of the United States Football Association. The new body merged together all the teams and leagues in Ohio and plans were announced to hold a state championship. By 1930 Cleveland had become one of the strongest soccer centers in the United States and 1931, Northeastern Ohio crowned its first National Champion, the Goodyear Wingfoots of Akron. The Wingfoots defeated the Black Cats of New Bedford, Mass., 2- 0, at Seiberling field in Akron on June 7 in the National Amateur Cup final. Soccer in Cleveland experienced a period of decline from 1933 until 1945 but underwent a ‘Period of Revival’ from 1946 to 1966 under the leadership of Colin Commander and other individuals who contributed to the game for many years. Cleveland’s growth in soccer during this period was mainly due to immigration from Central Europe, where effects of the Great War displaced millions of people. Ethnic clubs from Germany, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Ukraine, Croatia and Serbia quickly formed teams and leagues for their members on both the adult and youth levels. Their energy and the enthusiasm spread this relatively new sport to all segments of the population in the U.S.
