[quote=anonimouswon]At the top team level (MLS Next/ECNL) before U12 the focus should be on technical skills and learning to use both legs to pass and kick the ball. Tactical training/teaching begins at U13 so if your player hasn't developed technical skills they most likely never will unless they get that training from an outside source. Because kids are growing at U13-U14+ it's an awkward age and by U15 coaches are looking at more athletic bigger players even if they don't have the technical skill, but when the technical players catch up to those bigger players you'll see them taking their starting positions back. For your son I would suggest he focus on technical skills and fundamentals on his own. There is a lot on youtube for technical drills he can work on. You might want to ask the coach things he needs to work on as well to provide some guidance.[/quote]
