Yes exactly.  I'm one of the PP's talking about how the gifted kids play a lot.  This is NOT happening because their parents are pushing them.  Basically these kids just want to play because they love it - and they find ways to do so - the parents couldn't stop them if they tried.

So I completely agree with this.  If your kid wants to play Super Y, then sign them up for it.  It's fun.  If they would rather not play, then don't sign them up for it.

Super Y is awful. And playing all the time doesn't make you better (but it will cause injury.). No, not all the "best" kids are playing all the time. No, not all the best kids are doing personal training, etc.

Bro I dont know you but I promise you your kid isn't  even in the conversation with the "BEST" kids[/quote]

You sound arrogant.

Not the PP here - and he may sound a little arrogant - but the other poster (the one who thinks the best kids aren't playing all the time) is just wrong when he suggests that the top kids don't play all the time.  They do.  And most of the next tier down play all the time too.  I'm guessing this guy doesn't even know who the top kids are, and has probably never heard of the Bolivian league either.  He's right about none of them (at least as far as I'm aware) doing one-on-one with a personal trainer though.[/quote]

I'm the poster your referring to....go ahead and have your kid play 24-7. Do what you feel. Thats your business. I'm offering my opinion. You don't like it? Disregard it.

Most of your kids will stop playing by 16. Enjoy

What is your problem?

Super Y is a pretty casual experience. Perhaps some training once or twice a week and about 8 games. Because it is summer missing games and practices is expected. It just isn’t that big a deal or commitment. Relax and don’t worry about what someone else’s kid is doing. [/quote]

I kinda said that above.[/quote]

No, you have attacked it as a waste of time and judged kids and parents for believing their kids are among the best.[/quote]

No, I attacked the notion that playing 12 months a year is beneficial.[/quote]

Beneficial to what end? It doesn't need to have any more benefit than to simply be fun. If there are other sports they enjoy playing then do those too. But I think you are looking at the "benefit" in the wrong context.[/quote]

Again, as I said many times already, playing for fun is great. Thats why they should play. I'm countering the notion that "the best kids are always playing". Its simply not true. [/quote]

Nobody has made that claim as it pertains to Super Y. Just stop.

The best kids do play and train more than other kids. You are arguing that correlation is causation. But, no, not all the best kids play in Super Y and that claim was never made. Super Y is a pretty mixed bag talent wise. There some very good teams and there are more that are just meh. But who cares?![/quote]

Yes..the point was.made that all the best players play all the time. [/quote]

My guess is that you have taken this thread down this ridiculous rabbit hole because of the following exchange:

^ This. The definition of technically gifted is relative - buty I agree that there are ~5 or so kids per age group who are clearly better than the others - so let's call that the technically gifted group. I think it's worth pointing out that those kids got that way by playing all the time. They play on clubs, they play in unofficial leagues, they play pick-up. They play futsal, they play with older kids and adults, and they play with younger kids. They play in the fall, the winter, the spring and the summer. And they don't stop playing because they have reached the level of "technically gifted". They keep doing it.

My kid is one of the more technically gifted kids on her team and she doesn't do all of the extra stuff. Zero personal training, zero Futsal, zero anything else. However, she learned a lot of technical stuff very young which gave her years to improve on it. A good technical coach very early on is key.

Terrific, you believe that your kid is one of the more technically gifted players on the team and you think that the above poster was throwing shade at your kid because you have chosen to not do extra stuff. Well, I really don't know to say but it is a big leap to say that just because your kid isn't among them that the "best players do not in fact play all the time".

Your child speaks for all the gifted kids. Thank you for your valuable insight.[/quote]
