[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The key is to take private training and small competitive group trainings early on.  So yes, If a kid plays Rec at the age of 8 and trains every day with top kids in small groups without club so called development, I think they will get at the top when they are 14 or 15.  Obviously as they progress, they will be far superior than playing Rec.

A travel club only provides you with a league you can play in and even with that, you may only play 5 minutes in every game.  Look at ECNL rosters packed at 20 players (30 older age groups).  How on earth a coach will play all 18 players long enough for them to develop in a 35 minutes half game?

Other than games and tournaments, clubs provide some "easy training" 3 times a week like my DD calls it LOL. Trust me there are some top trainings in the area that far exceed the quality of trainings clubs provide.

There are of course some good coaches that do develop but unfortunately they are very very few.  The rest pay a 5k for a coaching license and they start calling themselves coaches who can develop.  They understand Soccer upside down.  Some think hurting an opponent is the way you play, the other think running all directions is the way to go somehow comparing football to Soccer.  Unless a coach got exposed (played or coached) to soccer in Europe,  South America or Africa, he/she will not understand how to develop the kids to play the beautiful game. At least on the girls side even at a high level like ECNL or GA, all i see every weekend is running, pushing and kick ball.  Coaches are not interested in technique or possession soccer like in Spain for example .  What kind of development is this then??[/quote]

Totally agree. Are there U13G coaches in the area who actually train and play a possession style?  I’ve asked this question multiple times on multiple threads, but nada. Maybe that’s because there is nada in the area. So frustrating. [/quote]
