Thomas what about development without a curriculum? That’s like driving blindfolded.
How do we even know what we are creating, developing, when there is no description or definition of that end product anywhere. What is a good player? what is a good team? Two things that we have spent decades developing and we have not even thought it necessary to at least give a definition of them to our children. No wonder they struggle to understand us, and we struggle to teach them the game.
There is an art and a science to development that we ignore, and that is why our kids pick daisies on the field at age 8, and tryout for lacrosse at age 13.
