[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At younger ages, the coach is far more important to your player's development than the club itself. [b]Don't leave a team unless you are really dissatisfied with the coach or if the players are not developing much, if at all. It's ALL on the coach at the younger ages.[/b]

At the older ages once players have started to come into their own more, the club plays a role in getting them into higher competitive leagues, tournaments, and all of that. Most coaches that meet a minimum threshold of experience and have their licenses can step in and work with a team for a season (or a couple of seasons) but there are not that many coaches that can develop a player all the way from 4v4/5v5 U8 recreational level soccer (or "competitive rec") swarm ball (or crossover league) to playing 11v11 U13 soccer on a full sized field.

Yep.  And don't go to a Club because of their perceived Eliteness.  Been there, done that.  Shitty training and development.  Highly inconsistent coaching staff and 'we don't give a shit' attitude to anyone not on first team.[/quote]
