[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No player will improve simply through team practices!
Sorry if I’m repeating things people already wrote. I didn’t want to read all of the responses. If your kid is on a top team, he has a responsibility to get extra training in to be able to contribute to the team effort. Can’t speak for all teams but my kid’s team has some players who obviously get training only from team practices and are absolutely a liability to the team. And parents of those same kids are the ones who get angry when their kids don’t get the same playing time. 
Okay rant over. [/quote]  Agreed. And honestly even the best player on your team is still way behind international standards.  Have you ever seen those video clips that show beginner, amateur, and professional level of some soccer skill.  Guess where our kids are?   I saw a clip a couple months ago of a Premiere league player teaching his son (looked to be about 7) how to take a PK, read the goalie, open your hips, place your foot far enough from the ball so you can come across your body if you decide to etc. the level of detail and technique was on another level. Our kids dont get that level of training, even when you pay for extra for it.  [/quote]

Stop following IG.

This is a big country.  Our top kids at U11 can compete with anyone in the world.  The separation happens because we focus on wins versus development.  This is mainly first touch, and small space movement.

You are defeating your kid by age 7 before they get started.[/quote][/quote] Wait so you say there is separation and then say we can play with anyone in the world....which is it?

Our kids are competitive as late as U11 and then the gap starts to widen.  We can sometimes remain competitive by U13 but start lagging by U15 when puberty neutralizes athletic advantages and soccer IQ is more involved.

Don’t take my word for it though, go and see for yourself.[/quote]

Exactly and dont fool yourself its not just soccer IQ the technical skills are lacking as well. [/quote]
