    Proper Development

    Section 5 - Long-Term Player Development
    Development of soccer players is a continuum that overlaps age groups. The following are the top 10
    objectives in the development of a soccer player:
    1) Develop the child’s appreciation of the game.
    2) Keep winning and losing in proper perspective.
    3) Be sensitive to each player’s development needs.
    4) Educate the players to the technical, tactical, physical and psychological (four components of
    soccer) demands of the game for their level of play.
    5) Implement rules and equipment modifications according to the players’ age group.
    6) Allow players to experience all positions.
    7) Players need to have fun and receive positive feedback.
    8) Training should be conducted in the spirit of enjoyment and learning.
    9) Provide the appropriate number of training sessions and matches according to the player’s stage
    of development.
    10) Strive to help each player reach their full potential and be prepared to move to the next stage of
    development.

    So, what ARE the "stages of development" if it's appropriate to move the player to the "next stage of development"?

        These long-term development objectives come from page 23 of the US Youth Soccer Player Development Model, which goes on to say:

        As a team sport soccer is a late specialization sport. A multi-sport experience provides a solid base to long-term development as a soccer player. From 6 to 12 years of age children should take opportunities to play in different sports.

          These long-term player development objectives come from the US Youth Soccer Association. The US Soccer Federation, as the parent of both the US Youth Soccer Association and US Club Soccer, also has player development goals broken down into age groups expressed on pages 51 through 54 of Appendix B of the US Soccer Federation Player Development Guidelines.

              Its also why we don't have any American playing in the worlds best leagues or able to compete in World cups or big tournaments. We couldn't even beat a small island last week.

                Everyone can talk about doing this and doing that but what we do as a country for this sport is just not good enough. Instead of simply following proven ways of development, we try to invent our own or stick to our guns. Its ignorant.

                  Right there is the American mentality and the problem. If a kid is not fully devoted to soccer from 10-12 yrs old which are the formative years it's all over. The U.S still haven't figured it out...

                    Kids should find the best possible trainers at the earliest ages. Don't play for parent coaches ever if you kid shows early talent. You left Rec soccer for a reason. Go the large club ASAP and get into their developmental program. Ideally find a 20 something that played in college and has a passion and will be on the field with the ball at their feet demonstrating everything. Be honest, if your coach can't juggle the ball 20 times, don't expect them to turn your kid into anything more than what they are.

                        In my opinion, Gary Kleiban is right. But it has nothing to do with the existing or future long-term player development plans.
