[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Youth soccer in the US does not individually develop players. The players who get extra training in (be it through private coaches, private academies, or just spends extra time outside kicking the ball or even in their home or backyard) are the ones who continue to improve.  Parents have to invest more time and money.  That's the unfortunate reality of youth soccer in our country.

Coaches have limited time per week to train the whole team. If a coach spend their training hours on individual skills development, the team gets blown out of games (and parents complain about that).[/quote]

Yes and No.  The no is that I disagree with the notion that kids aren't developed at the team level.  There is other development taking place such as tactical learning, positional and situational understanding, mindset, confidence, fitness improvements, and many others that all contribute to a player's development.

Agree with you that most individual skill development will require external training with trainer or individually.  A good coach on a team level will still take the time show players on how to do something correctly.

Just because a team coach is not working on an unopposed drills/footskills cone drills for half of the practice does not mean that individual player is not taking place.[/quote]
