[quote=Nova2Euro]I understand it can be tough for the kid if either a) they feel that they are not challenged enough, or b) they're operating at a different level from perhaps less talented/committed/athletic teammates and therefore have little opportunity to employ their own talents. I had a son experience that at the U11 level. It frustrated him to the point that he dreaded matches, where the team would regularly lose 0-8. My suggestions: 1) ask if your player can train 1-2 times/week with a higher-level team; 2) Each game, focus on one particular area/goal and make that "victory," i.e. "pass 5 times with my weaker foot," or "beat 3 players on the dribble"; 3) Ask if you can join a higher-level team for a tournament; 4) Encourage him to relax and be friends with his teammates. Yeah, they might not be great at football. But at least some of them are probably awesome kids and could be good friends. [/quote]
