[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Youth soccer in the US does not individually develop players. The players who get extra training in (be it through private coaches, private academies, or just spends extra time outside kicking the ball or even in their home or backyard) are the ones who continue to improve.  Parents have to invest more time and money.  That's the unfortunate reality of youth soccer in our country.

Coaches have limited time per week to train the whole team. If a coach spend their training hours on individual skills development, the team gets blown out of games (and parents complain about that).[/quote]

+1.  Individual skill improves only when the player takes extra time to focus on their individual technical qualities (first touches, dribbling, trapping, shooting technique, 1v1 battles, fancy skills etc.).   In the United States, there's a lot of physicality among teams but lack of depth in technical qualities and I think that's what parents have to focus on, in their own time.  The coaches will always focus on training as a team unit and not increase or improve your kid's individual development and/or technical abilities.[/quote]
