[quote=Anonymous]For U14 and below it is more important to develop skill on the ball through technical repetition. Developing skill is rarely the result of coaching. Football culture is also important below U14 (allowing children to make mistakes, encouraging being brave on the ball, learning good decision making). Hopefully, Potomac can continue its positive culture moving forward. Its almost better to have coaches that keep things tidy, instead of trying to do too much, allowing children to be brave and decision make on the field rather than overcoach, preach tactics, create robots, and a fear of play below U14.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't join a club because of a coach! We left a club to follow the coach when he left and in a few months he relocated out of state (got married). We had to go to tryouts again and find a diff club because the new club was small and the replacing coach had no experience. Just choose an environment that works for your child's temperament, make sure he/she plays at the appropriate level and gets plenty of playing time so they can develop. [/quote]

Please do not listen to this if you have a high-level player. The coach is the primary thing you want to focus on if you are trying to actually use the club model to develop. The average coach in the area did not play at a high level and does not know what to do except have a nice tidy environment.[/quote][/quote]
