How do you evaluate a player from a technical and soccer IQ standpoint? What are you looking for? For technical I would think there are measurable criteria like passes competed, goals, assists. What about soccer IQ?

DD U12 plays in the wings or in mid and makes most assists on her team (sometimes all in a game). What happens to such a player in U13? What position do they end up playing?[/quote]

She'll continue to play those positions...11/7/10/8

Coach- if winning isn't that important and IQ, technique, etc should be the focus, why is it that most of your peers field 1st teams with "athletes".  My son is was born late in the year and when we switched to calendar year, he became the youngest, shortest, sometimes slowest on the team.  But he had the best technique and field vision on the team, what made him frustrated is that team would always be built with the fast kid with ZERO skill.  He even said that there were at least 5-6 players on the 2nd team that would be better to pass to.

Back to my question, if the coaches can't figure this out what makes anyone think the parents can?  Fast forward, he's a U15 now and is killing it with another club....he's just as tall and fast now.   [/quote]
