IG @standoutsoccer worked with a few other Spirit/metro utd academy girls a couple years ago. Wasn’t in our budget but those parents couldn’t say enough good things about him.
Does not look like he had been posting recently but may be worth a dm to check

I'm refereeing a few games this weekend. I'll count how many U13s are taking shots outside and around the 18

Not every shot should be a blast it as hard as you can. Striking the ball with different surfaces of the foot. Balance and body movements prior to the striking. The follow through.
Are you setting me up for the “your kid is too young, he should just go a play/train by himself” speech? lol.
There isn't a single high level club or academy coach/scout with 'shooting skills' on their scouting and recruiting clipboard chart for a 13 year old
Who cares what a club coach or an academy scout is looking for. It’s about becoming a better version of yourself. A little skill refining for your tool belt.
You should care why the top level doesn't care about shooting at 13
At 13, taking long shots isn't a skillset
I am now questioning why there are even soccer goals on the field. We should just have refs judge who can dribble the best kinda like a gymnastics competition.
You probably shouldn't comment on a soccer forum
