This is all super helpful. My son wants to be a professional soccer player and at the very least play in college. He's very competitive but isn't developing enough technical skills for sure. Anyone love their U10 team for technical development so we can look into tryouts? I can talk to our coach/director but really don't see how it could all change all of a sudden.

My 10 year old son's MSI Classic team almost exclusively scrimmage during practice. Virtually no drills, no instruction. He loves his friends on the team and loves to play but he's definitely not learning anything new. I'm not sure if we should supplement with individual coaching or find a new team.

Is this normal? What are your kids doing in practice?
