[quote=Anonymous]I would wait until the fall season ends and see if the coach has individual player meetings and/or asks for feedback from parents. Then frame it as “[kid name] feels like xyz…” to reduce the chance of the coach becoming defensive. Unfortunately some coaches are just very negative. We moved our oldest who was starting and playing the entire game because we could see the coach’s negativity getting to them. It’s not motivating to only hear what you and your teammates are doing wrong all the time. I think the best coach for the youngest kids is a young person who can still tap into what it’s like to be the player. They may not have the licenses, but they have the enthusiasm and want to instill a love of the game in the kids. You have to do your research to find out where these coaches are. If your kid stays in soccer or really any sport, each year will be a learning experience in some way. [/quote]
