Many kids are coming to soccer teams without the fundamental athletic skills needed to be competitive or successful.
They don’t run and play like we used to. Their PE programs have been cut, reduced or eliminated. They watch TV and play video games.
You probably put them in soccer so they could get some exercise, have fun and get fit. Yet, so many of our youth are not ready to compete.
