Mark Christie posted a blog postUsing Statistics for Youth Player Development
Using Statistics for Youth Player DevelopmentI have read about coaches in Sweden asking parents to count how many times there kid touches the ball in training and in games.

It is very important they are learning good habits and what type of touches they have but if you told me that a 7 year old had touched the ball 2000 times with Coach A and only 40 times with Coach…See More

Hi Mark,
welcome to the community. I look forward to your contributions. The focus of the community is mainly around coaching and player development and topics related to that. We are not focused on soccer fans since there are plenty of other sites that do that. We do however want to address topics from the pro's, college and national teams that have an interest or impact on coaches, parents and players.
Look forward to scheduling a skype call in the near future. I am also going to be promoting the next five webinars we are helping to sponsor with SoccerPlus.
Cheers
Tim
