Soccer starts at home, exhibit 321

I saw something similar, except it was those who played on their own are still playing. Those who didn’t, aren’t. Even those with who had seemingly ‘natural ability’ and played and practiced as much club ball as they could, aren’t.

When my Son entered into organized play at 6yrs of age, 3 other Kids on his team were pretty good players already. Fast forward to today and only these 4 players are still playing at age 15. The rest have moved on or play other sports. The Entry level matters more than you think. pic.twitter.com/WHhoaacZVm
