Private lessons? 11-year-old DS new to soccer

[Anonymous]

We train with ASA travel coaches in Arlington. It is $75-90 an hour.
$50 must be a college kid.

Sorry to steal this thread.

What do you look for when hiring a trainer? Nothing immediately but I would like to hire a coach for my U11 DD.

+1. You’ll probably start him in a red league this spring right? Unless he’s very unathletic, no need for private training to “catch up”. He won’t be behind the others. My kid is on a U12 rec team and many of the players (his team and opponents) aren’t that skilled. If your son is nervous then sign him up for winter training as PP suggested.
