[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you should learn about Tom Byer and his philosophy on how the younger years are critical for development and most of that starts at home. https://tomsan.com/en/
My son is not yet college age, but a teen who plays at a high level and is similar in that he / we had no intention of picking up soccer as "the sport". He was consistently told that he had innate skills for it and encouraged to keep showing up. Surrounding yourself with the right people is key in the process. Don't pay for something you don't need. Don't let the shiny objects distract you from real development and joy with the game. [/quote]

I was going to post the same thing! :-)

tldr; just get him a mini soccer ball (the mini kind that's appropriate for his age) and encourage him to dribble and walk with the ball around the house. That's the single best thing you can do for him. All the other stuff (big kicks, running, shooting goals, etc.) can and will come later. Right now it's all about building a bond between him and the ball at his feet -- muscle memory.

Have fun![/quote]
