Here is a good video on the subject and a general idea from a football federation with a lot of success.

The big thing I took away from this section was that many youth coaches seem to be stuck in the "competitor" midset too early when there are better approaches for that specific age. After 16 seems to be when most should handle the pressure and harsher demands of the game and coach. I also agree what is seen as "abuse" is incorrectly labeled in most cases. But. we should be aware that, while not total abuse of a player, it can cause damage to player development by going head first into competitor mode too young. Parents may not be as fine-tuned into the nuance of that distinction but feel something is not right. If it is not working for your kid, it is best to find a place that does work. There are a lot of clubs to choose from in this area, so that should be no problem.
