The season may be winding down, but things are just heating up on Derby Central! Join Om, Ibraheem, and Jack as they dive into the late-season rankings, debate who’s peaking and who’s falling off, and kick around ideas for their next big schoolyard event: the Recess Shootout. ⚽🔥
They also reflect on the NPR Student Podcast Challenge—what it taught them, what they submitted, and what they’d do differently next time.
But the question on everyone’s mind…
👀 Did Jack actually learn more about soccer this season—or is he still just winging it?
No spoilers—you’ll have to listen to find out.
In this episode, the trio covers:
• Late-season team rankings and key takeaways
• Planning the ultimate Recess Shootout event at school 🥅
• NPR Podcast Competition reflections 🎧
• Jack’s soccer IQ: growth or just good guesses?
Whether you’re a stats nerd, a playground legend, or just here for the banter, Derby Central is your new favorite corner of the pitch.
