There are a lot of places that can do that. Rec most of the time is not one of those place. She can still play rec but should get technical training. Tell us where you live and people will tell you what’s close to you. [/quote]

How do you develop tech skills if not on a rec team??[/quote]

technical skills clinics? mini camps? regular canos? private trainer? semi private trainer? group trainer?[/quote]

Players need to play, too. Ajax tells its younger academy kids to go home and play pickup soccer with kids in their neighborhoods.[/quote]

Well, sure that is excellent advise, WHEN YOUR REGULAR PRACTICES ARE AT AJAX!

Getting a technical foundation can be done alone or with extra training though personal trainers or places like HP etc..[/quote]

The point is that you need both. You need good training, which you might not get in rec (well, you might not get it in travel, either), but you have to PLAY. Even against kids who aren't awesome.[/quote]

One of the benefits for Ajax players to horse around in the neighborhood is simply to play away from the crucible of Ajax. It is more for the creative joy away from such a high demanding and high pressure environment. [/quote]

Dutch coaches have told me there has been a drop off in street play with the introduction of gaming/Xbox.  I'm serious.  They said the amount of kids playing in the streets after school has seriously dropped off.  That said, it is still much greater than here/and talent, of course, far greater---but nothing like Cryuff' s childhood.[/quote]
