Based upon the numerous articles I read over the years, ages between 10-12 is when a kid is most able to start learning soccer skills. Hence, finding the right coach that you think will connect and develop your son’s skills & love for the game is most important. Development is key at your DS’s age.
I’ve heard good things about Juventus Coaches but never had direct experience with them. We were former MSI Academy family. I understand that since Juventus plays under the MSI Academy program, they have access to turf fields for games/practices at JWMS, Whitman HS and Einstein HS and numerous grass fields. Good luck.

I thought the coaching was great and I could see the players were having fun. Ultimately my son chose a different team but it was my 1st choice of the clubs he tried out for.
