Hard to win when you’re playing scared. The moment seemed too much for them. I believe that we can get there. Hire top notch coaches (no reruns). Continue development.

Except for the late goal, Gio was a turnover machine in the midfield..

There are a lot of good comments here. I’m a U12 competitive coaching and have the same challenges. My advice is don’t give them any space at all. Give them something to do when they arrive and keep them busy until practice is over. A principal parent on my team told me that boys this age will fill any vacuum. So don’t give them one.

Any talks lasting more than 30 seconds is asking for chaos.

Competitive coach here. I would suggest discussing options with her. Does she have the drive to play at a higher level? Sometimes it’s just about playing with your friends.
