[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Where are you - what club is closest to you? [/b]That can influence your options. Without knowing that, my recommendation is:

-Contact bottom travel teams at 2 closest local travel clubs and ask to attend some training sessions. Get feedback from the coach afterward as far as fit and recommendations. Maybe he makes one or is close and they may allow him to attend training occasionally.

Assuming he doesn’t make a team over the summer:
-Sign up for house soccer if current club is small, consider signup for house soccer at a close larger club
-sign up for rec skills training if the rec club offers it. Watch the sessions, see what moves they teach, work on those with him at least a couple times per week. 
-Sign up for Golden Boot or other weekly skills classes (HP Elite often only takes travel players). Depending on location there may be other soccer training companies near you. Watch the sessions, see what moves they teach, work on those with him. 
-Spend time with him dribbling, changing direction, and juggling.

The coaches will look for players that are comfortable on the ball, able to change direction or get past defenders, they will also look for speed and size. Ability/willingness to play in goal will also work in his favor. [/quote]
