So your 9 year old understands the mechanics of play, but doesn't know how to apply them on the field.  He needs different coaches or trainers who can teach him how to apply what he has learned to real world/game situations.  I've seen some kids that can learn from video playback of their games.  Have you or his coaches tried that?  Video his game and then watch it back with him and stop at times to show where he is, what's happening, what he did vs what he should do or should be thinking about.  A lot of athletes need to look back at the replay to figure out how to correctly apply the skills they have to real games and how to recognize what's going on.[/quote]

OMG - this is an awesome idea.....why did I not think of that?????

He loves atching videos of himself so this could work.   Is if I could only fly a drone over the game!

You're welcome.  My old office-worker used to do this for her son (he was the QB of his HS football team).  She goes up to the top of the bleachers and stands up there and videos from there.  She can get a pretty wide angle view.  On their teach, there is a parent assigned to video every game and different parents take turns.  She focuses on her son as much as she can and then they watch both the "team" footage and Mom's footage and analyze his game.  Over the years, it's helped him and he's stayed the starting QB for his team.  [/quote]
