By the way..these were taken nearly a year ago..I will put some updated stuff on within the next couple of weeks...as the difference between then and now is quite dramatic. -
Bill, I watched both videos. Remarkable ball-handling skills for a 4 y/o !!
I know he's still young but maybe now (and especially that he has developed these skills so early) you should look at the videos with a critical eye. As a former youth coach myself, I would work on his strategy in the one v one situation. I notice that he shows the ball a lot. Get him to keep the ball on the foot away from his defender, and to learn to switch the ball to the other foot when the defender switches sides. (just my thought)
Keep him training. Remarkable skills!!!

What is amazing is that he had only really started playing about 8 months prior...and he is playing against an 8 year old. He actually doesn't dribble against people like that anymore as he uses his body and center of gravityy to greater effect and he doesnt show the ball as much..but for 4 that wasnt to bad. He isnt there by any stretch..I will update a new one soon..so you all can see the difference from just 7-8 months agoOriginally posted by Farmah View PostComment

Hey Bill, thanks for posting
those vids. Your son is handling the ball very well for a four year old.
I like the way he can change quickly from right to left (at four years of age). He is enjoying it too (which is important). I am now salivating to see
him in a game scenario (here i can see how he moves against opponents).
Excellent. There may be hope for the USA
Is he eligible for Ja too?

No he is not eligible for Jamaica...but he is eligible for the USA and England. He is waaaaaayyy better now than in those two videos..he carves and cuts people to bits now...even with the older kids in DC..8-11 he is always the most skillful and technical...being able to run like a gazelle now helps...he is so much quicker and powerful than even last summer..Thanks for the postive comments to all!!

I guess we will have to
shop some place else Hope to see him in a game situation soon. I like to see youngsters being encouraged to play with the ball (this sparks creativity) Just imagine if Donavan was allowed to play the way your son is right now? (good thing though . Anyway I wish the best for your son and keep up the good work.

You are right about Donovan...and a whole ton of other players..that have been stifled. the last thing I want him to be doing is passing...I want him to feel free..express himself..show rythm and fluid movements in his dribbiling and playing. But..if I let him play within the existing leagues here..the way they have it set up...you know what would happen.

He plays in 4 aside and 5 aside games now...and tears those kids up...which is why we had to move him up with the 8-10 year olds...and even still...he is the most technical of the lot..by far..
