[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For U9 aspiring beyond rec - what would you recommend for off season training?

DS above average technical  skill, average rec player.  Loves soccer, full effort and takes instruction very well - just not able to reach that exceptional level.
Played indoor last two years, and really we did not see much value.  No practices, and games on a gym floor and pace of game not really translatable to outdoor.

Camps?  Private training?  Just time off and hope we get lucky for a bloom of technical skills to meet field vision?

Not sure of best approach - he wants to try out for travel because he love structured training and formal practices that rec does not offer; but the reality is he just not have the shock and awe to impress coaches at try outs still.

Appreciate any tips or suggestions.

Travel club winter camps, they are likely to take non club players and the training will be high quality.

Futsal is good for touches on the ball even if the pace doesn’t translate.[/quote]

Futsal is not good for players that don't have good tech skills, I'd go the first route of club winter training.   Where are you at?[/quote]

That makes no sense. The whole point of training is improve skills, and the best way to improve technical skills if through futsal. [/quote]

Just playing devil's advocate here but...futsal is very fast. It's very unforgiving and SO exposes (nowhere to hide on the court) those kids with poor touch, poor dribbling skills, and poor footskills...poor technical skills.  It's very difficult for them.  So keep that in mind.  So I agree the best way to improve is to TRAIN but not just through futsal games. It's like throwing a kid who can't swim into the deep end.  Good luck though.[/quote]
