[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest thing I noticed going to these training sessions is how much standing around the kids do, with coach lecturing.  My kids current club has kids moving the full 90 min.  There is no waiting in lines ...touches, touches and tactical sense drills.  Now I’m giving the U13 coaches a break because they have inherited a bunch of kids that never learned how to play and have to now teach them from scratch.  But it’s been eye-opening and confirms we did the right thing with our kids in not focusing on leagues/status in the younger years.[/quote]

That poor coach has to fix all of the technical deficiencies of the players he inherited first.  You can’t play the way he wants them to play without shoring that up.  If a club focused on size/speed and American coaching style in the pre-puberty years—the players will be woefully behind in technical ability and tactical sense.[/quote]

It's like there are 2 separate Clubs.  The teams below the 'elite' teams are trained completely differently and the size matters.  This is not a feeder system.  A club should have kids on the same developmental plan to succeed in the later years.  I don't know why the Clubs get the big name, good coaches for the later years without investing in the critical early developmental years.  There shouldn't be that big of a gulf in playing style.  Why aren't there uniform training plans at these big Clubs that the Coaching staff follows across the board and are adjusted at each subsequent level?  It would require a lot of coaching education, a plan implementation and reviews.  There seems to be plenty of revenue coming in---is it a financial reason or just a 'we don't care' reason?  I suppose it's a win at all costs in the young years reason.[/quote]
