[quote=Anonymous]My oldest is only  U17, so I may not qualify but we are approaching the first end of this thing, but i would add, go with best technical training at the youngest age. Do not stress about team name, clout or rank, find a coach who makes your 8-9 year old badly juggle for the first 15 minutes of training.

Turn off any soccer instagram requests for you, suggested follows, or follows for any kid U13.  All it does is heighten the FOMO.

At a young age, find at least some kind of futsal program in the off season for technical heightening.

Avoid any program that does not let you pass until U11.  Dribbling is important but its not the whole game.

Let your not college bound player live and thrive and love with their high school team.

Let your girl play with the boys as long as possible.

Move your girl who is able to and would like to play in college to an ECNL/GA program by U13. It is close to impossible to catch up to the speed of play otherwise. The college exposure follows.[/quote]
