Once you have the embedding sorted out, I suggest you consider these general issues...

1. Appropriate content for the site and forum

I'd recommend moving the content of your Mission page to the Home page and replacing the Mission page with a page "Ratings" page that will contain what's on the Home page at the moment.

Rational: Visitors need the aim of the site made clear as soon as the visit the site. Only if they know the purpose and ways in which the information they supply is to be used will they be likely to offer their ratings or want to partake in discussion on the forum.

2. Appropriate content for the forum

The material currently in "Using Rate Club Soccer Socal Forums and Website" really belongs on the main site, probably on the home page, so that having described the site mission you then explain the practicalities of using the site. I would scrap the section altogether, but might consider a "Rules" section that explains  how the forum is to be used, acceptable language and topics, etc.

3. Sub-forum names

Remember these need to be short - ideally as short as those on the menu of your main site - as they form the breadcrumb menu links across the top of the forum.

For example, as the whole site is about club soccer there is no need to include those words in every sub-forum name. So I'd suggest you consider:

Tryouts
Tournaments
Youth Injuries (but do add a description of how this area is to be used)
Discussion

Remember that as you are now using the Category App for the top level of your forum and once you have the Forum Home page correctly embedded, the descriptions for each area will be displayed as soon as the visit the forum page and the key words "Tryouts" "Tournaments" etc should be a sufficient prompt for navigating the forum, in exactly the same way as "Home", "Ratings" and "Resources" should be on the main site menu.
