[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The answer would depend on your goal. Are you looking to move your child from a different travel team (i.e. Bethesda, Potomac, Rockville) or from rec to travel?

Is your child the type to have dreams of playing in college or just looking to have fun and learn? [/quote]

OP, DS is looking to move from rec to travel and play on middle school and high school teams.  Hasn’t looked as far as college yet.

DS loves soccer but has not received a lot of coaching on footwork and strategy on rec teams.  He’s big for his age and his hand/eye coordination is better than his hand/foot coordination (or is that a matter of training and practice?) so he’s usually put on defense or goalie. He’s better than average at both positions but wants to learn offense.  Will PPA help him make the leap to travel?

I’ve seen him make huge leaps in basketball with good coaching.  He’s highly coachable according to his b-ball coach and learns fast when shown things.  It’s been interesting to see how aggressive and fast he is at b-ball but that doesn’t translate ito soccer.  So I suspect it’s partly an issue of confidence and partly need for skills training.  His current rec team has over 15 kids on it.  The coach does his best, but I can see my son needs more.
