A kid with bad touch alone in the basement using YouTube to learn drills will never be able to replicate the class.

The key is having the fundamentals, so Youtube can potentially help set a foundation. The problem is that in a real game the player has limited time, space and pressure. There are drills at A-Game that try to emulate that, unless your kid has a partner in the basement he or she can learn basics but won't be able to train with pressure. Covid kinda messed up the way A-Game drills were utilized as well, they had a tag one that was just awesome so one player alone at home cannot perform it. Also kids racing each other during the drills is priceless. My kid is usually one of the youngest and smallest so he has to turn the engines on to compete.

Great stuff
Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI think of A-Game as a fun footwork class to get touches in a different way. There isn't enough time to teach the kids proper technique since there are so many kids in each class. On a rainy day or an off day from team practice it is a nice alternative but a beginner player/younger will not get the most of the sessions.
