[quote=Anonymous][quote]Bottom line: There are good and bad rec coaches, and there are good and bad travel coaches. They often have exactly the same coaching credentials, in which case the parents will often be better because **they have kids**. [/quote] It probably depends where you are. In our county's rec league, the coach is often a volunteer parent without a license or credentials at all - they are just generous enough to give their time. We've had several coaches who did not assign the kids positions (e.g., someone is a defender, someone is a forward) other than goalie and the kids just kind of ran in a lump. That's fine for U8s, but by U10 or 11, that's not a great use of time for a kid who is interested in soccer, even if that kid will never play at a top level.[/quote]
