Date: May 31st, 2012 12:16 AM Author: abnormal thriller shitlib jap our kids grow up with poor coaching in poor youth set ups. america is the only country where kids have to pay to play soccer.
also, kids leagues are 11-on-11 and played on adult-sized fields with adult-sized goals. kids aren't able to get enough touches on the ball to develop technique, and they have to resort to lumping it through the air to get it down the field. in spain and holland, kids only play 5-on-5 or 7-on-7 on half-sized fields. in brazil and argentina, they play futsal.
lastly, americans care about victory above all else, even in kids leagues. as a result, athletic kids dominate even when they have shitty technique. smaller, slower kids don't have a chance to improve, while athletic kids coast by on their temporary advantage. |

Date: May 31st, 2012 12:36 AM Author: abnormal thriller shitlib jap i mean parents have to pay for their kids to play soccer in competitive leagues
that's not the case in europe. each nation's football association funds their youth programs so parents don't have to pay. this gives poor kids like wayne rooney a chance. |
|
Date: May 31st, 2012 12:42 AM Author: overrated vibrant hunting ground travel guidebook yeah, a soccer player has to be groomed from early childhood like a gymnast.
in south america it's mostly the top clubs that sponsor youth academies, isn't it? i thought that was the case in europe as well.
i suppose american clubs don't have enough history yet to consider a long term project like that. |

Date: May 31st, 2012 12:48 AM Author: abnormal thriller shitlib jap this is essentially true. i was referring more to the schoolboy/sunday/non-league programs that any kid can sign up for, not the club youth programs which recruit and sign kids.

When you drive through a shithole country, all they have is a field and some makeshift goals. People of all ages are playing in pick up games.
Every American kid at school has the option of like 30 activities - including basketball and football - both of which are way more fun to play. On top of that, Americans are watching football, basketball and baseball. Kids spend their afternoons playing video games, riding bikes and scooters, swimming, taking piano lessons, etc.
My kid plays some youth soccer. He's actually way faster and more athletic than the Hispanic kids. But you can tell that they play and actually watch soccer all the time. They spend their time at home constantly dribbling the soccer ball, whereas my kid only touches a soccer ball during those 8 or so practices and games during the season.
Even if we did commit to soccer and start putting him in a more competitive league, he'd still probably only play in that setting. There is not a neighborhood soccer game he could play in every night, and he would still probably play basketball or tag at recess with his friends. |
