Years ago kids played pick up, in the yard, against older kids, skill built on their own, etc. Not sure i see too much of that these days. Putting goals up in the yard and getting after it. Today it's all programming and programmed play. Maybe you can argue coaching is better these days and maybe soccer intelligence has improved, and training sessions marry what you see in the big game... but i'm not sure kids are better

"Better" is term that applies to the individual's preference.
But, more skillful? No doubt at all it's better today.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI think it is a deservice to the participants of youth soccer to speak of averages. There are skilled players in every aspect of the competitive game , many may not be recognized because of their place in the hierarchy. After all , it is a simple game. If the children involved are experiencing an atmosphere of success and are encouraged by the adults supporting them, it is irrelevant to entertain notions of speculation regarding is it better or not than the past This is their time, the children’s time, why add additional anxiety to the equation ?
