[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The coach is not important at all.  Development does not take place at these clubs unless its an MLS Academy.  These coaches have multiple teams and about 20 kids on each team...stop looking for clubs for development!  It is on you as a parent to expose your player to all kinds of environments and experiences.  Futsal, training, guest playing, pickup, street ball...whatever.  Relying on  some inexperienced coach to make your kid good 3 times a week is laughable.

The players your player will compete against at practice every week is more important than a coach...unless your kid is that coach's pet project...then you are good.  [/quote]

The coach may or may not matter a whole lot for development, but it sure does matter for your kid’s day-to-day experience. It would be stupid to ignore that unless you are talking about an MLS academy or something high level like that. For most kids, the coach matters a great deal as it can make or break their enjoyment of the sport. [/quote]
