Not to hijack the thread, but since so many posters seem to have experience with private training, I'd love some perspective on the appropriate, ethical way to find private training opportunities. Speaking as the parent of kid who is the top of his team (captain, plays every minute) but unable to break through to the next level at his current club, who is the appropriate person to approach about getting him what he needs? He already trains with the higher level squad (and has been for 18 mos), but was passed over once again for a roster spot. The private trainers I've seen advertising on socials are either too basic or focused on developing MLS Academy level talent (which my kid is not).
I don't want to put his club coach in an awkward spot by asking him, nor do I want to suggest an inappropriate quid-pro-quo by asking the coach of the higher level squad. Is the DoC an appropriate person?
