[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone found a club like this anywhere in this area:

At the PA Classics, Christian was told to "go out there and express yourself." It meant he could take players on one-on-one or one-on-two again and again, and no one would yell at him to pass. Klein and the other PA Classics coaches allow their youngest kids to play all over the field, letting them find their best position intuitively. "You watch our games, and no one is constantly yelling instructions, no one is joysticking kids around the field or the other behavior you see from some coaches," Klein says.

Our kids' club is constantly directing, yelling to pass and where to pass.[/quote]

PAC's coaches generally aren't joystick coaches. It's a mixed bag elsewhere. All coaching instruction these days warns against joystick coaching, but the message doesn't always sink in.[/quote]

Joystick coaching is all over the DMV---even at the places that swear they don't do it.[/quote]

Let me clarify: that wasn't a jab at PAC.  We aren't at PAC--but now several coaches there and my kids have played against many of their teams.  We haven't had luck elsewhere.  It's pretty coach dependent too.[/quote]
