My u12 boy plays on a top premier team. On the days he does not have practice, we had him try clubs, rec sports, even play dates. All he wants to do is play more soccer. I don't want him to go overboard, but all he wants to do is get better and I want to support that.
His team does not allow double-rostering, so he can't join the town A team (which would be ideal because it's with his friends and the team is very good.). Are there any supplemental programs in Fairfield County (1x/week perhaps 2x/week) where he can get some more soccer coaching/practice? Last spring we went to a couple of programs and found that even when he was with the older kids, the quality of players was very poor and he got extremely frustrated. I've heard mixed things about Pythons, JA Elite, Ole, Chelsea Piers. He's doing a great camp for the summer, but it's not an option in the Fall/Winter/Spring.
My ideal program would be something where there are boys his age who are playing premier-level soccer. A little technical coaching and lots of small-sided games/drills.
Ideas?
