[quote=Lasso_FC_Girls][quote=L0ud0unParent][quote=Lasso_FC_Girls]4 year old? Which ever club beats ball skills to death until they go to 9v9. I honestly don’t know what club that is though. Probably not the clubs that care about winning at early ages. Definitely not Loudoun though. [/quote]
Why not Loudoun? Just curious.[/quote]

At that young of an age, a smaller atmosphere is usually better so the coach/trainer interact more with the player. My DD is now 13, plays in ECNL and is excelling. She started in our area's town club at ages 4 to 9. Was trained in ball skills only till age 7 and then the coach added in some IQ work through age 9. Game results were ignored. While that can be painful for a parent, it was certainly the best approach looking back now. I should also say the only reason to move your player to a larger and more competitive is if they are excelling so much that they are not being challenged by those around them.

Worry less about the club at early ages and more about the coach/trainer. Most will be parents at the young ages anyway. If you think Loudoun will train heavily on skills at a young age, than Loudoun is fine, however, Loudoun is not known for a technical style of play at later ages. At U9 though U13, it's more like put our fastest and strongest players up top, kick it long and hope the forwards get there. [/quote]
