[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's still the en vogue thing -- do nothing but footskills, then toss the kids into games and don't worry about the fact that they don't understand it at all. I'm told it pays off in the long run. I think it's just because everyone else quits playing soccer, so the kids who were in Division 7 move up to Division 2 and the parents consider it "progress." But maybe someone will find the right balance somewhere.[/quote] Exactly, I hear that a lot of players in the 3rd and 4th team end up on the 1st team by the time they're in U15 or higher. My thinking is with DA, other sports, HS, it would make sense for the outstanding athletes that were chosen for their speed in U10 maybe moved basketball/football or some other sport and by the time the age group got to U14 with 11 a side there was only enough players left to field 1 team, two teams in the bigger counties. I don't think that necessarily demonstrates development.[/quote]
