[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]don't look at is at "being the worst player" you have do adopt a mindset of improvement. Every rec player switching into travel at U11 without someone helping them make the jump is going to have a challenge on their hands.

The best thing is to find a local trainer that can do lessons with your son and help him bridge the skill gap. The other kids have been training for 2 years already so it takes time - but its worth the effort.[/quote]

Not really even any need for this unless you feel like spending the money.  He can just get out and train by himself.  He could start with just juggling and/or set up a little obstacle course with cones / hoops / lawn furniture / whatever else comes to hand - and dribble around the course as fast as he can.  Buy him a goal (<$100) and have him practise shooting.

If he spends 120 minutes a day on the first type of activity and forty-five minutes a day on the second this will kill your lawn, but he will be at least as good as most of the players on his team in three months or less.[/quote]

Just adding to this comment though - he has to want to put in the time himself.  Most kids do not.

If he does, it can be a really good life lesson about the value of hard work and practise.

If he doesn't, it can be a really good life lesson about how parents forcing children to practice when they don't want to doesn't achieve much of anything :-).[/quote]
