OP here.  I'm not really sure what assumptions you are making, with respect to me personally.  I don't want to lose an affordable coach, which we may if we give up the spot working with him.  I don't have illusions that my son will be the next Messi, but he did work hard this year, and I would like him to keep his progress.  He does have some interests other than soccer, but they don't take up all of his free time, and I'm very anti-electronics, so we do have a fair amount of conflict about him spending too much time on them.  At the end of the day, my son did motivate to text a few kids find another kid that is interested in working with him, so it is all good.[/quote]

What people tend to not understand when they make sweeping judgements and generalizations is that at this age tremendous gains can be made in a short period of time for the player. Getting better is motivating to a player and at this age the gains are seen relatively quickly.

As they get older it is best to pull back unless they are in a very competitive environment or there are very specific aspects the player needs/wants to work on. Having a private trainer is not necessary for the duration of a young players "career" but I can't think of a better time to work on the technical aspects of the game than at this age. The help he gets now will help provide a solid technical foundation that unfortunately you, nor anyone else, should expect the club to provide.

One ball for a group players does not build the technical foundation as quickly as one ball, one player does. [/quote]
