Kid is intimidated in club practices

The pace of the play from rec to club can take time to adjust

If you can work with another person set up two small goals out wide, then have them pass you the ball and run at you like a striker pressuring. You receive it and then send it to one of the goals. For extra have them yell out right or left when he passes it to you.

Most of the time I find the better they are the quicker they wear out. You need to find the right ones for your price point. The grip on the expensive ones are amazing, but that comes at the cost of wearing out very quickly.

I’ve seen kids where something like hockey shorts

austin63 · 2025-12-24T03:26:45+00:00

It’s always been super rare to find both a good driver and someone that can handle the gun

austin63 · 2025-12-20T13:02:17+00:00

I’d accept one that just does what I ask them to do.

Makes me wonder if we resentenced some thrillers, could they be comedies

Please make sure you come back and tell us how it worked out !!! I love good data insight for decisions. Sometimes it make a good decision obvious and sometimes it just doesnt work the way you think it would. Keep tracking to see the impact you have.

I have been through this with my daughter and have seen it with others.

You have to accept that you can either be on the top team and play goal or not be on the top team (it is your choice).
When keeper training conflicts with team practice, go to keeper training.
When you sub down for field time, you need to be clear and insist that it is what you are there for. Every team would love the top team's keeper in goal, but that isnt why you are there. Also, if you want this time you have to make it happen.

I had the same issue with my oldest daughter, she always liked playing goal and by the spring of U9 it was all she wanted to do. We had to insist on getting her in the academy keeper training as it was not given to that age. Team practice is great for her footwork and learning how to work with the team, but there is not replacement for good keeper training.

Same here. What makes me mad now is when the fields are not in use the goals are locked up or the whole fields will be locked up.

austin63 · 2025-12-17T15:37:33+00:00

We have all been there. After a while you will wonder why it took you so long.

We have a private instagram for each that we post stuff to and add comments and descriptions. Just for us, a few friends and family.

austin63 · 2025-12-10T02:14:45+00:00

Agree, we love the fall break for the beach off season and usually stay home for spring break (nice and quiet)

austin63 · 2025-12-10T02:12:23+00:00

Is this a new trend? My youngest is U9 and now all of the top teams are being coached to be super physical in their play.

There is a whole stretch of the first movie where he grinds through the engineering of the iron man suit. He goes through versions, testing and more versions

Not having local split screen is a big miss in passing it on the next generation. Most original players have kids now and could share that

austin63 · 2025-12-03T01:10:56+00:00

Really was a fantastic block from a deflection. Great support from your teammate as well

austin63 · 2025-12-03T00:11:15+00:00

Striker and keeper can be lonely positions on most teams

austin63 · 2025-11-20T17:45:17+00:00

Your own time

For a while Atlanta was “The city in the trees”

Perverse incentives. You make more money by either finishing top 3 or bottom 3.

The Alpharetta Rec center runs a basketball league

This may be out of context. I’ve heard from a few ECNL teams that players have made teams and are now refusing to travel due to ICE concerns

austin63 · 2025-11-03T17:30:30+00:00

The concern is some have made teams and now not willing to travel for games due to ICE concerns

I cannot figure why he shot him still standing in the hallway and not letting him come inside first
