[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be realistic about how athletic your daughter is - not how technical or good at soccer - but how athletic. Deciding factor in speed of play on girls side at older ages is dominated by athleticism and aggression. [/quote] This. Also don't be the parent who yells (positive or otherwise) from the sideline, don't watch practice past U6 or 7, and don't put pressure on them. If it's not about them, they will resent it eventually. I saw a few very talented girls quit and over involved parents were a commonality with both of them. Also accept that soccer is a starter sport- your kid may end up playing something else all together. The same hold for they teammates. Kids also leave clubs and join clubs. Don't let your friend circle become the parents you see every weekend and don't let your kid's friend circle get reduced to their team. Both pressure them to stay longer than they otherwise would or leave them to resent families who choose to move on [/quote]
