A little more history

My daughter started soccer with a non-competitive league in '10 through the local Boys & Girls club.  She wound up with a great coach that knew how to keep the kids engaged and never stayed on a skill long enough for the kids to get bored with it.  She learned a lot that summer and had a great time playing.

She played every position, struggling with fitness at first, but getting better and better as the season wore on.  She gravitated toward striker (loved scoring those goals) and goalie, surprisingly enough.

It was at this point I started doing some research online for activities I could do with my daughter to help her out while "just having fun".  Much of what I found was geared toward teams, even if small groups of kids.  On top of this, much of what I found was mostly drills, which I found my daughter would do, but tired of quickly.

This research also led me to a set of instructional videos by a coach going by the name "Coach V" called "SoccerU".  Those disks were a great start to my being able to help my daughter develop her game, and developed my own in the process.
