[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd be interested in hearing about any experiences with signing up for private training sessions for your youth soccer players (in my case, kids are 11 and 13) and how it compares with the training they are already receiving playing on their club teams. One of my kids is at the second-team level and one is on the first team (MLS Next) but we've never gone in for private training for either of them.

Is this something that many players do to improve specific areas of their game that might be lacking, as identified by their club coaches? Is it effective or just a waste of money? Just trying to gauge whether it's a good idea / worth it. I used to try to help them train on my own for fun, but to be honest they're both far above my skill level at this point and I don't think my "dad training" fun sessions are really doing anything to help them very much, due to my own lack of technical skill etc.[/quote]

Ideally, you are doing it correctly.  Development begins at home.

We do private at least 1x a week mainly to focus on technique.  The rest of the development is at home. I find it worth it “depending” on the trainer.
 
Some are no different than me.  The ones who drill down on technique are worth the money IMHO as they teach things I could never teach my son and they will never learn from the team.
