Dear scum, I cannot fathom being hard on 6 year olds. Your expression that they are enjoying success at wopping the opposition I see as more a reflection of your evaluation of what you are enjoying. I pity the children who play for coach who can be hard on 6 year olds. I also assume that this is a recreational soccer program as you mentioned school grades. I have had to deal with many youth coaches who I think you fit to a tee. Over time their inability to create fun drove children out of the game. Sadly you words convey to me that you have these characteristic. One other thing, only adults who are clueless about soccer and athletics put together teams in this age group where any team beats another team by more than 6 goals. Winning by romping over all competition for six year olds if continuous is a way to develop losers later in life when real competition is faced. Also a team that romps learns little as there is no challenge. Online a good source of technical you soccer training is worldofsoccer.com I've spoken to Tony Waiter on a few occasions and I've used his books as reference for several years. They are now online and free. scum I have thousand of photo of soccer games online. but this is a quick look at some of my personal soccer information library. Anything I do, I do with precision and depth. pbase.com tom watson tosiwmee
