[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe you should try to keep up. I know what the technical skills of soccer are and at what age they are best taught. If you bothered to read the thread you would have realized that. I stated earlier that technical should be the focus at younger ages. What is inappropriate is teaching systems of play at younger ages, the kids just don’t have the mental capacity to understand the concepts. You’ve already demonstrated that you can’t follow a simple discussion, please try to pay better attention in the future.[/quote]

You're off on a new tangent, but you didn't answer the question.  Why don't you believe first touch, learning how to pass and strike, and playing one touch/two touch are technical skills?  I'm actually curious as to why you wrote that.  If you want to back away from it, fine, just admit what you wrote was incorrect.

[quote=Anonymous]First touch, learning how to strike the ball for different types of pass, accurate passing, learning to play one or two touch soccer, thinking and making decisions quickly are all just as important as dribbling and the better kids start developing these skills at U10/U11.  They cannot develop these skills outside of a program where they are emphasized and used in practise and on game day.  And waiting until U15 or U16 is way too late.  At that point the kid is too far behind and most certainly will not get picked up by DC United on the basis of dribbling skill alone.[/quote]

You replied:

[quote=Anonymous]Clearly you don’t understand the definition of technical skills as it relates to soccer. Classic parent problem, but you can educated yourself. If you are going to spend $30k on your child’s soccer hobby, do a little legwork and understand what you are buying [/quote]
