Prodigies should be in the
AAU Leagues - they have better coaching, more competitive play, everyone would be better off.
The reality is one kid looks great and a bunch of other kids get turned off to the sport. That's why soccer is so popular with younger kids - it's fun. They don't have to stand up there alone and strike out in front of everyone - they can just run up and down the field get some exercise and have a good time.
