[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And this is why asking a serious question on a forum is waste of time.  The prior two replies say
-Achilles has excellent training
-Achilles is not a serious development program

I have no dog in this fight as I live in VA and know nothing about Achilles.   Just funny to me how two comments back to back can be so clearly opposing.  Makes me think you only true path to the truth is to do your own homework and roll the dice with what your gut tells you.  He is 10, chances are his interests will change in life anyway so dont over think it.  [/quote]

I think for finding the one universal truth the internet might be a waste of time, but for demonstrating there is a difference of opinion the posts did just that.

I think also it's worth noting that in Youth Soccer, the experiences of different years / teams is vastly different even within a club. [b]There is no club that is 100% the best team in every age bracket.[/b] There are multiple clubs doing 'the best development' across different years (i.e. U8 at club 1, U9s at club 2, etc). When the OP is talking to parents, they'll need to understand that what worked for the U10s might not be the same for the U11s as coaches and teammates change, and even the rules and pitch sizes change as the kids get bigger and hit puberty. Some parents "rave" about a club because there kid gets more playing time, when in reality it's just the other club had a few extra players in that same position and vs. that kid at the original club theirs wasn't as strong.

Just take what you hear with a grain of salt. [/quote]
