Message: [QUOTE="Kolumbo, post: 4454927, member: 4613"] Seeing this first hand. Many kids play with the town rec league, some kids pay for the local private academy, and some kids do both. You can clearly see the difference in their training and it's too bad because some of the kids who only play rec are great athletes but don't have the skilled training. The rec leagues are coached by volunteer parents who may or may not have ever played soccer, never mind having any idea how to teach the skills. With Little League Baseball all the coaches are parents who played the game, and even if they didn't play varsity, they've watched years of baseball and know how to teach a kid to hit, throw and catch. It really is a huge difference in overall resources between baseball and soccer. [/QUOTE]
