Good Coaches Vs Good Trainers

[Unregistered]

With only 2 practices a week, I would go with the good trainer at the younger ages and the good coach at the older ages. Develop skills and fitness as a foundation at the younger ages and the add strategy and tactics as players are older and can understand it better.

^ this. Not enough kids learn the foundation building blocks at the earlier ages. There's way too much emphasis on playing to win also. Kids overseas do far more pick-up games, unstructured scrimmages and lots more time working on fundamentals. We have parents and clubs worried about U little gotsoccer rankings.
