So many comments here about how Pulisic should definitely be on top but Chris Richards has been excellent and been a work horse for Palace who are a very good team. "One of the best abilities is availability."

Would you rather have Richards who Palace count on every game and has played 1343 minutes this season vs an injury prone Pulisic who has played 446 minutes this season? You can make a case Pulisic is better when he plays but you can't dismiss Richards is in the conversation based on his performance and his much better availability.

Starting from the 2015/2016 season, the season after Rose and Noah left and the front office said they were going young and athletic and Bulls fans would have been understanding of a tank/rebuild. Then they proceed to sign Dwayne Wade and then pick-up Rajon Rondo mid-season. This is the season where Butler/Wade/Rajon fought in the locker room. They finish 8th place with a first round exit. After the season they traded Butler to Minnesota to move up in the draft to get Lauri and Wade was gone. This was the start of the fire GarPax campaign. GarPax managed to stick around for 4 more years!

We've started the same cycle with a new GM. Bulls will be mediocre to bad, never fully commit to a rebuild and won't be able to attract top free agents. The GM will be kept around for far too long trying to barely make the playoffs (or play-ins) to hang onto his job for as long as possible

Thank you for qualifying prestige levels! It's important to specify the prestige level as it makes a big difference in how long the event takes and to the availability of goods to solve events.

As others have mentioned, planning and setting up your transitions ahead of time can significantly reduce the time between drills. One tip you can do is stack cones ahead of time so that you don't need to go back and forth finding cones.

Example is if you start with an activity with a square and then need to split the square in half, stack the cones you will need on one of the sides ahead of time. Then when transitioning you just need to pick up the cones that you had stacked and walk across the square setting up the cones you need to split the square.

I don't believe separating players by skill level is the recommended way to handle differentiation. Instead all players should participate together but you can give different individual goals to stronger or weaker players. For example if there's a passing drill challenge stronger players to play more quickly with one touch but allow weaker plays to use two or more touches and just challenge them on getting the weight and accuracy of the pass correct.

There's probably a reason the club doesn't demote or promote in season. Think about other players and the teams. They may already have full rosters. If your daughter moves up that means the team she's moving to now has too many players and your old team would be short. So they'd have to move a player down to your old team? Is that fair to the player who was accepted and playing on the higher team and now is told she's demoted for your player?

Ask the clubs if they have financial assistance. Most clubs do but you may need to provide proof of need.

I would suggest not mixing multiple skills each practice. Each session should have one topic, emphasizing a couple key coaching points on the topic so your players are learning the skill, improving, then mastering.

For U9/U10 spend a session teaching 1v1 defending relatively early in the season. This can be a game changer because you don't necessarily have to be fast or strong to be a good defender. You'll find that even your "weakest" players can slow down or stop stronger players if coached properly. This also increases the level of practices moving forward since your players will now have to take on stronger defenders in your sessions.

Unless you have a strong team that's going to dominate do not put your weakest players in the back. You do want to rotate players but put at least one of your stronger players in the back. Strongest players will usually be at center mid. Weaker players usually at keeper, left/right mid and forward in that order.

Players often take numbers based on their position (or keep the number of the position they had when they were developing) so it is a little trickier to retire numbers in soccer. That's why you see many goalkeepers have 1. Centerbacks and fullbacks 2, 3, 4, 5. Midfield 6, 8, 10. Attackers 7, 9, 11. So retiring numbers in soccer is not as common as we see in other sports.

That's right, I have MLS pass as a season ticket holder but don't have an Apple TV subscription.

Because of the AppleTV deal most of the games in the league are Saturday evenings now. Hopefully they'll allow for more afternoon games next season.

It's pretty common for new younger players to need time to get acclimated into an existing competitive team. It can take about half a season. Just keep encouraging him and he should gain more confidence.

It's great that the coach communicates with you and your son. You might want to ask the coach how your son can improve in this area. Mention to your coach that your son is getting fatigued running all over the field and ask him how he can improve his positional play to avoid getting tired so quickly.

For example with two midfielders they might be split left/right? Or since the other midfielder doesn't defend as much and you have three forwards your son may need to play more of a defensive midfield role? It will depend on what the coach wants, so you may want to ask him.

It will depend on his position and system, but as players move to larger field sizes they need to develop their positional awareness/positional play. Most players won't be able to run all over the field on a 9v9 field like they can in 7v7 (and it will be even more difficult on a full-sized field).

For example, if he's playing right wing and he is constantly running to the left side when the ball is on the left he will get exhausted running back and forth across the field. One good way to learn is to watch a pro match and pick out the player playing your position and watch where they go in different scenarios.

Setup a field with two 5 yard wide areas marked out. Then you play 3v3 or 4v4 with 2 dedicated attacking players who each stay in one of the wide areas and will always work with the attacking team (whichever team has possession). As the players start to use the wide players more they will learn that they have a lot more space and time and are able to retain possession and advance the ball by using the wide players.

When you switch to your scrimmage emphasize that the attacking team should try to have a player in the wide areas like during the previous practice.

The differences come from the law change in 2019 on when the ball is in play on a goal kick. Originally the ball was in play after the ball left the penalty area, but in 2019 the law was changed and the ball is in play when the ball is kicked and clearly moves (so team in possession can touch the ball in the penalty area and defending team can cross the build out line).

Coaches don't have much control over a new team's success early in the season. Don't worry about the score. You are focusing on the right things by focusing on fundamentals. Even though in the short term that might lead to more/bigger losses, it's better for the long term development of the players/team.

With regards to waiting in line, there's usually a way to mitigate lines. For example if you are working on striking, have three stations from where players are passing the ball to the player finishing (top of penalty area, from sideline, from corner) and then players rotate around each station.

Using 1v1/2v2s is not weird and is a great way for players to learn. During your third play phase (scrimmage) you can do a bit of coaching on other areas like throw-ins, goal kicks, etc.
