[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ranting soccer dad, you need your kid to grow up before you start talking.  You really think you can tell a kid's future athletic prowess at U9???  That is what is different about Barca--they develop every player in their program equally and invest the same amount of time.  They don't focus on just 10 players at U9 that appear to be the strongest at age 8....and, then, down the road cut them or move them down when more athletically, skilled kids show up.  They are in the 'development business'.  They aren't in the 'win every irrelevant tournament in the below U13 age bracket business'.

I get it, it's a new concept for youth soccer in the US. It's hard to grasp for some people.[/quote]

Not just athleticism, but he apparently believes whatever skill you have at age 8 is how skilled you will be down the road.  Kids should just give up now.  There is no developing of first touch or technical skill after age 8.  Let's all throw in the towel and call it a day.

God, idiotic.  But, truthfully, that is how most travel clubs operate and they put all their eggs in those top 12 they often turn out rotten in 5-6 years.  It's 'Merica![/quote]
