[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, enjoy and keep doing what you are doing.

Play-Practice-Play is the way to go, more touches and more fun.  Drills kill the fun and take the joy out of soccer[/quote]Our team, top team, strictly did this at U9/U10. It got old and kids didnt develop at the same rate of other clubs. They need some instruction during play part and there was no technical development. Watching my kid "play" for more than half the practice has me questioning what we are paying the coach for. I dont subscribe to the US Soccer handbook. There is a reason why we are where we are. There can be a balance of PPP and technical development.[/quote]

NP here.

OP wants Champions league tactics at age 7.  What 7 year old wants to defend?  They want to be on the ball and score at that age.  They want to have fun.

The parents want to win thus the commentary in this discussion.  Tactics should not even be in the discussion at this age.  The best kids on the ball will easily win at this age if your ego is that fragile on the weekends.

The kids who win the arms rest and become the best players are the kids who want to play morning, noon (recess) and night.  They are not the kids winning U10 SuperCopa and burnt out at age 15 because soccer was not fun to them.

Could there be more instruction in the club from the OP?  Yes, but from the OP’s desires, I imagine there is a heavy mismatch in what is actually taking place and how they perceive what is taking place.

My only caveat is if this is yellow submarines, run.  Whoever is running their training methodology here has no clue what they are doing.[/quote]
