[quote=Anonymous]He's 8. His mechanics aren't fully developed. His balance, coordination, stability, strength, etc have a long way to go. If you really want to help him, take him to the play ground more where the kids play tag. Did you ever see a kid NOT sprint when being chased? Have him play tag, and dodge ball, and all the things PE teachers don't allow them to do. These things build all the things that he will need to generate speed and acceleration. I recommend that before each soccer practice, he can use 15 minutes to work on basics like skipping and butt kicks and other dynamic stretching that will help his speed in the future. Have him jump rope. Have him do a few sprints with and without the ball as well. I would say 10-20 yards no need for 40 yards at this age.[/quote]
