[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are paying thousands of dollars for club soccer and they aren't teaching skills?[/quote]

Yes, all clubs are a business. It’s the American model. Don’t pretend to be ignorant on the matter. Pay to play system. Certainly you’ve heard that term before. [/quote]

What are they doing at all those practices?[/quote]

Maybe 10% skills work and 90% small-sided or full-sided scrimmages.  It is a lot of practices and the Coaches sometimes do not have al ton of oversight from their Clubs.  They revert back to scrimmaging a lot.  They may go over some foot skills, like step overs, V-pulls, inside & outside.... but they don't follow up by making the kids repeat the drills and set up scenarios where they have to use them in drills.  There is not a lot of individual attention.

After 4 years in travel soccer, we have noticed the kids that start to do new and amazing things on the field are the kids who learn these skills outside of team practices.  Those kids (and the super athletes) are promoted to the 1st teams.

There is a big market for clubs like HP Elite that provide extra training clubs and focus on skill development as most kids will not got that in team trainings. [/quote]
