[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a child at Barca Academy this year. My child's coach is not knowledgeable. The team goes forward at every opportunity and when in possession are narrow and shallow (centre backs are pushed into the midfield). The coach does not address any of this. Typically, as soon as the ball is played wide, the winger goes down the wing blindly and hoofs in a cross.  The team wins against weak teams. Instead of trying to play well (possessing, switching the point of attack, patiently stretching the other team out) the coach seems content with capitalizing on mistakes by the weak team and scoring.  They win games by 5 or more goals while stringing together an average of 2 passes  With a different coach the team could play so much better. Some of the older teams play a much nicer (Barca) style but it seems to be dependant on the coach. There is little to no coach rotation as others have mentioned and I rarely see the technical director.  [/quote]

I also noticed that some of the coaches provide more tactical instruction than others.  I cannot speak specifically about your child's coach, but it may be that your child's team is not as advanced as some others.  As for the coaching rotation, all my kids have new coaches compared to last year and they usually have a different coach covering one practice per week.  So the experience may be different for different teams and age groups.  I saw the technical director at Evergreen this morning and my wife saw him at an EDP game in Maryland last week.  I think that with more teams to oversee, he is stretched more than last year when the program was smaller and teams did not have league travel.  Barca has added three age group coordinators, who observe practices and report to the technical director.  If you have concerns or questions about training, etc., you can send email and request a meeting with your age group coordinator and the coach.   [/quote]
