[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Technical skills (dribbling, first touch, passing & kicking) are all based upon hours of practice. Learning a skill is much easier than perfecting it, hence a lot more practice. Some kids can learn and perfect skills faster than others, but they all need to practice it.

The best age to learn skills is between 9-11 years old.

Please note:  practice doesn’t make perfect, practice makes permanent. Hence, if a kid has bad technique and/or form, it will be permanent as a bad habit. [/quote]

for kids with parents who do not know much about the correct form/techniques right now, any suggestions on how to help the kids identify and correct bad forms/techniques?

There are lots of YouTube vids to lookup for kicking,  passing, first touchn etc. And lots of of group clinics in this area that focus on that. I send my ds to some occasionally just to see the correct way and what other kids his age are doing. [/quote]

+1. This is exactly what I did. There a lots of really good YouTube videos showing how to properly kick, pass, dribble and do skill moves. The only bad thing is that it is time consuming learning from those videos and teaching your DC. But on the flip side, it’s great bonding time with your DC as long as you don’t scream at them if they get it wrong. This is one reason why parents spend money on a private coach. [/quote]
