[quote=Anonymous]What area do you guys live in?

If your son was on a top ECNL team previously, it seems he would be a lock to make the JV team in HS without issue at all, especially if he will be a sophomore?

Regardless, sounds like he could use a break and or get on a program with a good friend to re-kindle that passion.

I'd second the opinion to get him on lower travel team and let him shine on that team, specially if you're locked out of the top teams.

A good private coach can motivate a player and work on certain skill sets... like agility and technical play.  Honestly, they should also be able to give you a sense of his work ethic too.  If the work ethic is lacking, that would indicate his motivation is low and it is time for a break from more serious soccer.  But they can't analyze his game play if he's not on a team.  You might run into a dead end or get a hard truth.

You could also try sports psychology and counseling...on its about $100 per session.  They can give you a good assessment after the initial session.  But be prepared for the hard sell of attending 6-10 sessions to help fix the mental problems.  That might be more beneficial than the private training.

Also, keep waiting, don't panic, something might shake out this summer!

Good luck!
