Even better bet is go watch a game. You can see how the coach works with players in games and what the competitive level is

We actually did see U9B FSA play Oakwood top teams play. Was helpful - fairly lopsided result in FSA favor. Both coaches were pretty silent.

That map is The Who’s who of youth soccer. That is a bunch a very poor clubs with a couple good clubs that would jump to the ECNL in a second

I’m familiar with the PA teams on that map with a long history of success, but judging from these boards Oakwood is no Beadling or PA Classics

Quiet coaching isn't necessarily a bad thing, in fact it can be an asset. Avoid loud mouth joysticking coaches. Kids need to learn on the field and not be constantly told what to do. Avoid coaches who yell just to yell, especially with younger kids because they aren't as good at filtering out instructions vs noise. Does a quiet coach talk to a player when they come off the field? What is he telling players before/at the half/after games?

Quiet coaches are often the best coaches, especially as players age. The idea is, unlike American sports, soccer players solve problems themselves, real-time, on the field, whereas American sports players have time-outs to suck oxygen and get the coach to solve the problem.

However, I would expect U9 players to need some verbal correction in-game from the coach.

Too many factors to consider. It's all situational and depends on the team and individual players and the opponent as well sometimes. It's up to a coach to realize what works for a team and what works for each player at different times.

Depends mostly on that loud soccer dad standing at the corner of the field screaming angrily at his kid.
