Here is an excellent article from www.KidzFutbol.com. It is a long read, but contains a very informative and well written summary and comparison of the youth futbol (soccer) developmental systems in Spain versus here in Canada. What I found particularly striking was the presented ratios in Spain (as well as in other European countries) of UEFA B/A Licesned coaches to the number of youth players registered (versus the same ratio of Canadian B/A Licensed coaches to players here in Canada), as well as the very demanding curriculum of the coaching course in Spain.
I’d love to hear your thoughts about this topic. Drop me a line here to get the conversation started.
