I appreciate the suggestions.

Any of you ever take a kid (or were taken yourself) out of town to get better coaching?
My kid seems to have a knack for the sport, at least compared to these small town kids he plays against, but he's basically getting no coaching other than what I can give him, and I didn't play soccer.

I have 13 kids, 7v7. I split them into 6 player mini teams and change every 8 minutes. We play 2 25 minute halves.

It wouldn't hurt to send him to some camps. There are plenty of tutorials on the internet that can help you as well. The most important thing is that he loves the game.

I lived in Atlanta so there were plenty of clubs within a reasonable distance of me so I never would have had to leave the city. I will say that the very top kids from other cities (Macon, Columbus, Athens) etc... Eventually found themselves on the elite teams in the Atlanta area by age like 14 or so.

There would be a Columbus area team that survived for a little based on 2 elite players and you'd remember them because it was so obvious, and then the next year, the Columbus team got "relegated" and the 2 elite kids were on a top 3 team in Atlanta.
