PLLEEEAAASSSSEEEE. Come on now coach. Soccer isn’t rocket science. [/quote]

Coach again:

You're right, it's not. As someone who's been coaching a long time and involved with the sport for even longer, it's easy for me to identify progress in a player over time.

That being said I can also tell you with certainty that your average parent hasn't a clue. I view it as part of my job to help them understand what progress looks like and what end result we're looking for. It's a loooong road from u-littles to college (and perhaps beyond).

If you're on this forum, I'd wager you're already beyond what I would considering the average parent. Most parents couldn't name the league above or below the one they are in (not division... league). Most parents couldn't name the coaches an age group above or below their current team, hell even within their own age group! Most parents don't understand the difference between Jeffersons Cup and a coffee cup (that's a joke folks).

For those rare ones that are willing to go out and try to educate themselves (as perhaps the OP is), I try to do my best to give a neutral observation, based on my experience. Just my 2c.[/quote]

Thanks Coach. What are the things you would look at in terms of evaluating development, from the most important to the least?[/quote]
