Looking for experienced skills focused 07 coach

Wanted to see if anyone could recommend a top quality 07 coach that is dedicated to skill/technical development? A core group of committed girls are seeking to establish a new team or join an established team with the right coach. The desire is to practice in the Plano/Frisco/Allen/McKinney area. Feel free to also PM me. Thanks.

We are a little farther west, But Tigers 07G has 2 teams currently training in the Denton area. We expect to field 2 strong teams. Our focus is on skill and player development, and the cost is half of most other programs. Please contact me if you are interested. Steve Roberts 817-564-6069 and steve@texastigersfc.com

It would have to be to save on the gas from Plano.

STILL MUCH CLOSER THAN KELLER - Unless you just really enjoy playing Arlington D2...

Yeah really hate to have your DD's soccer career devastated by playing in Arlington at 5 years old. Hear college coaches just walk away when they see that on the resume.

Yep, all those Tigers teams in Lake Highlands scares the Ikea monkey out of a club that puts 4-6 teams in LH each year. As for academy, just look at all those Tigers teams in the top twenty for the 03s-06s. But yep, I'm sure things will be soooo different with the 07s onward

LOL! For sure! Great perspective!

Yep, left you a PM.

Tristan, I'm sure you are right...

I am certainly not throwing any shots at anyone...but...

1: The thread was hijacked
2: You played a team that didn't win a game in the fall primetime league.... split in 4 parts..

I am sure your Tigers are good, but that isn't the best way to prove it. Should have brought them to The Colony over the weekend to flex their muscle.

@boilerjoe - agree - we look forward to playing the other teams soon - but with Christmas parties and indoor games, no dice last weekend. We are committed to providing the highest quality competitive soccer experience for the kids without the parents having to choose between saving for college or retirement and select soccer - especially at these young ages. And I'm sure you can see for yourself why the "point" was made. Wolf is a great coach (as I have said publicly on these boards and to him directly). Heck, I entrusted 6 of my 95 rec girls (including my dd) to him for skills back when they were academy aged. He was able to help them go from rec to playing together in LHGCL (not as Tigers - the club didn't even exist until Summer of this year), and several have gone on to grab D1 scholarships - in part due to his efforts I'm sure. Surprised he felt the need to lash out to our fledgling club on here. Hadn't seen that side of him before (well except when I watched him run up the score with his 06 team against Texans Torres 07 back in September).

Did you really just post a scorecard from May?

Not to mention the light you're shining on each other as coaches arguing about 07 results on a parent forum!! Not exactly professional!

umm, are the tigers the new version of the vipers?.....

This is a joke right? Touting U-5 results? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHAAAAA!!!! Good one... whew....I haven't LOL'ed like that in a while - thanks!

Qustion i have is how much was registration for all those LP teams to line up and play each other repeatedly?

Wouldnt it have been cheaper to do their own in house league at that point.

Those results look like Quikfoot 3v3 Keller to me
Can we really use that to measure a 07 team? Or any academy team for that matter

posting 07 results, priceless just priceless!

disturbing... the real question is where did they finish at U3? Thats when the coaches start scouting them. by U5 most are commmitted.

Thanks for the replies and PMs I have received. I will be reaching out to some of you on the PMs later this week. But to get a little back on track- does any parents have any other recommendation for a solid skills/technical focused coach to develop our girls? We are not interested in practicing/playing games with the main focus on winning now. We are looking for a coach that is far more interested in the girls development than current W/L/D records. Again we are looking to stay in the Plano/McKinney/Allen area. Thanks.

Best advice I can offer is to call a few different clubs (LP, Solar, Texans, Sting, etc.) and talk with some coaches... then work to attend a few practices and see how it goes. In the end, most of the larger clubs are going to have good coaches from a skills/technical perpective... but the best coaches at this age are also excellent communicators. And the only way you can tell this is to see them in action with your DD.

Another tip... create an iSoccer (iSoccer.org) account and start to work with your DD at home. No coach needed for this as they have hundreds of videos and your DD will get addicted to wanting to improve her scores if you approach it correctly.

But, no matter what, keep things fun... get her with some friends and play a little 3v3... let them call themselves some funky name and turn them loose with minimal coaching from the parents who usually get all cRaZy, and ruin all the fun, as they attempt to live vicariously though their kid... yes, I've done it too... but am getting a lot better!

Touches+Fun=Development!

My advice to you is find a coach that has no interest in academy teams or clubs. If they are involved in the system. The motive of such is to get you to join the academy. Not necessarily skills. Keep in mind that club & academy coaches focus is not a 100% on your kids development. More team and club development.

Try Jeremie Piette

Or a club like Dallas Kicks.

Ludwig is a name of a guy that trains everyday of the week near 75.. ive never been but have heard great things about his sessions. I hear he is a flat fee 150 per month, you can go as many times as you want over that month. I hear he is unusual and not a very social guy, but he is great with kids.

I agree with above and stay away from club or academy coaches. They have an agenda to recruit and if they feel like you arent going to join or decide you aren't good enough for them, they will quickly stop training you. So you think you find a good coach/trainer, you make a weekly commitment and you see them for about a month or so...next thing you know, they lose interest in the chase..they will start standing you up and before you know they will have a great excuse to why they can't train you anymore.
