Oh, one other thing. This will sound stupid but I can't stress it enough. Shoes DO matter. Soccer shoes don't have to be expensive and they shouldn't be at this age level, but having proper shoes will help. The shaping of the toe box will help in learning how to dribble, pass, and shoot. wearing a pair of sketchers just makes learning new skills that much harder.

If your soccer league doesn't have a passback program(donation/trade) start one. When the kids outgrow their shoes and balls, turn them in so another kid who might not be able to afford it can use it.
