Elevate Game awareness
Do your kid watch enough soccer to elevate us to the next level as a soccer playing nation?
Most of our kids started to play as early as age 5. Most typically play recreational with friends and dad's coach. The better players move on and play for clubs, high schools and colleges.
However, our kids spend a little, if any, time watching top-level soccer. This developmental path leads to certain generic strenghs and weaknesses in our player development.
In general, the strengths of our players are that they are athletic and technically good and they have a terrific work ethic and team mentality.
On the flip side, players are lacking of creativity and tactical or game awareness. At our age group, the lack of understanding of the subtleties of the game and the tactical is penalizing us.
Making the family watching soccer will help your kids but also the parents love for the game... And maybe they will chose soccer first instead of other sports :)
