[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For girls the time and money would be better spent working on speed and strength training. Technical training is not really that important. [/quote]

Wow last comment sure was sexist. I am a dad saying this. Good lord.[/quote]

Nope it is very true. You must not watch much soccer at any level. Technical girls/women players are far and few when compared boys/men’s soccer. This results is a slower speed of play overall. Speed of play is directly related to physicality of the game. The slower the speed of play the more impact physical players will have. If a player holds the ball till contact it becomes a physical and speed match up. This favors the faster more physical players. Also with less technical play there are more 50/50 balls- bad touches, bad passes, etc. This is where a fast player will win the ball by get there first.

Look at any girls teams. The players who game is speed and physicality will be the vast majority of players vs the technical ones. Why not spend time and money improving strength and speed vs technical work. By u12 you know what type of player you are. By u13/u14 if you are not a technical player you are not going to magically catch up to the better technical players.
