Hate to tell you this but you just dont wake up and have it all down
Ask any top player(crosby, curry, jeter, brady) they have been working on their skills since early childhood and still do some of the same drills now
That is not what I said.
Great if others have done it , however there are also many athletes that started later. That indicates that is not a fact . It just worked out for them. How many start at a young age and fail ?
The opinion that if you don't have " foot skills" by age 12 , you will wash out is just nonsense.

Sure, you can continue to learn those foot skills at any age but after 12 formal soccer training often shifts from ball skill to team and tactical play.

I can defend your speed or your strength ,the kid with a mind who can do all things is scary
Its not worth arguing, but an elite skill is very rare. Much rarer than solid play. Every great player does something at an elite level.

Parents are smart getting in with the clubs that in the long run will benefit their child. The DA is clearly for the individual as the teams will be changing on a yearly basis so no chemistry and the girls that are almost 2 years younger will struggle with the age difference and won't show well.
Ecnl there is no comparison regarding college placement between FSA and CFC.

They give tons of partials to try to a lot for their numerous misses each year when assessing the soccer abilities of their prospects. Some coaches do far better than others year in and year out.

Got to have a few more and those would be walk-on players by your approach. How much ability do you want to give up to have more training bodies. That's why there are lots of quarter and thirds scholarships. Keeps the better players around longer.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostPlayers continue to develop through college. True foot skills are most definitely developed by 12 years old. There are lots of other attributes which are learned during the HS years. Learning to control the ball out of air on a simple touch, heading, shielding, first touch away from pressure. Learning how to deal with physically superior/stronger players.
My daughter is a junior and is ticketed for lower level D1. Her game has evolved immensely over the past 24 months. She always had a strong skillset but need to learn to deal with fast physical play, make quick decisions, step up her physicality and so on. All of this was developed during club play at U15 and U16 and to a lesser extent HS soccer.
College coaches look to find kids that they think can succeed at the next level. All of the things that I mentioned above are a factor.
