[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First step is to relax. I know from the crazy parents on this bb it can feel like everything matters but your kid is 9 years old. Nothing really matters where you play until U13 when they start playing 11 v 11, and even then it really doesn't matter where you play until U15. At U10, the best way to make sure you daughter is developing is to find a coach and team she likes so she falls in love with playing soccer. And not just playing, but also loves practicing. Practicing and working on her own as much as possible is what will separate her from the others at her age and beyond. Maybe find a small group trainer that she can do once/week to work on technical skills. [/quote] Good advice as I already have multiple kids playing at u13 and above. Just looking for something to supplement her team. [/quote] Supplement with technical group training where they work on how to pass, receive, shoot, dribble, 1v1's, defending. It's important to have a good understanding of the basics and then she can work on those same things on her own. If she puts a good amount of time in practicing you'll quickly see the separation from the other players on her team not doing those things. Development especially at that age doesn't happen in games. It happens in practicing individual skills.[/quote] Thanks. She is doing these things both with trainers and on her own. Looking for playing supplements as well. [/quote]
