[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From U9 to U12 (just 3 short years) a lot changes with teams and development!  A lot of kids who are on the A team by U12 have been playing since U9 as the roster grows from 9kids to 13+ kids.  In between where you are now to U12, you kids will improve by leaps and bounds just participating in travel practice and games.    By U13 some of the top players leave for more competitive clubs, making more room for average players who stuck with it!

Just keep it fun and light and hopefully the A team coach will encourage and challenge your  to practice more at home![/quote]

This. It's too early to give up! :) Also, things change even more from U12 to U18. Puberty does create a whole new level of separation. Can you assemble a group of kids to do extra skills training together? At that age, my kid was not motivated to practice alone or with me but was always happy to do small group training with buddies. Also, it is not too early to add speed and conditioning work, especially if you can make it social.
