Thanks. I do think he needs the right level. If the kids are a little younger or less skilled and bunch up around the ball, he seems lost and doesn’t know what to do unless he can truly just outrun them all or plow through them all (he can do that against 2-3 kids but not against 8). But I do worry at the top team he made , he’ll lose confidence and not try much in games he knows someone else on his team can do it better. (He’s one of the few who actually tries to pass or backs off and lets his teammate run with it if the teammate wins the ball). I think I’m just stressed because he loves it so much and I hate to see him lose his love of it just because I don’t know what sort of team is best for him or what he needs from a coach to improve (and he WANTS to improve, ALWAYS. He dribbles a ball around the house and yard nonstop. But none of us in the family play soccer so I can’t even play against him in the yard and let him learn from me- he is better than me!)[/quote]
