[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this speaks for both girls and boys. My child is U9 and the start of families joining travel teams. Better kids who love to play soccer, like to watch it, international backgrounds,  or enrolled early in camps obviously make the A or B team at a club. While kids with lesser experience or coming from rec on lower teams. Better kids get the better coaching, train and learn outside of club and continue to rise together. While kids at lower teams aren't coached as well, are around other kids who dont know the sport or play as well. They pretty much will stay the same for years. Clubs dont really develop kids individually talent, so if you aren't doing outside training, you'll never move up. I think in a way it is disappointing at practices and games at 5x , that most kids will not grow in the sport aside from physically growing.

I advise taking it into your own hands. If you have the will and take some learning, you can coach. Big issue is whether your child is willing to train at home.

This right here... learned it the hard way with my older kid. After two years of 3rd team figured out that there was no way to improve without outside  coaching. After signing the kid up to external group lessons and private 1 on 1 - saw significant improvement all around. This also helped with my younger kid who benefited from the mistakes made with 1st. Younger kid had better skills out the door and was put on 1st team with significantly better coaching and other players who are challenging during practice. The extra challenge and love of game definitely rubbed of on my younger kid. Bottom line, if you want your child to be competitive, (unfortunately) it requires a bunch of outside of club training - unless you kid is just a natural phenom, but we are speaking about regular kids.

If “you” want your kid to be competitive?

“I don’t care if you hate this DD, I need something to discuss with the boys at happy hour. There hours of HP Elite a week.”

Everything that is wrong with kids sports in 2026, right here. The USWNT pipeline is full of kids whose parents spent hours on extra training /s[/quote]
