I've enjoyed learning about the sport through my grandchildren's participation. Did you play? If so, what position?Definitely following in this household.

Good to see another convert.
My grandson played as a child, but was all over the field. He just couldn't stay where he was supposed to be. His coach said she was going to nail his feet to the ground. After three years playing baseball and being bored, he played soccer last Fall for a AYSO league. He had grown, matured, and was suddenly a factor on the field.Good to see another convert.
Back in the last century, I played a few games as part of an office side, usually in midfield. Harry Kane I was not!

Looking good. Always nice to use the WC as a springboard to encourage younger players to get involved and develop.
He does. $150 for 3x1.5 hour sessons. Just 20 players for the skills camp. Goal keeper camp was afterwards. Professional coaches and players are the instructorsLooking good. Always nice to use the WC as a springboard to encourage younger players to get involved and develop.
I hope he enjoys it and finds it useful
Sounds great especially when you've got decent coaches doing the teaching. Are the remaining sessions today and tomorrow then or is it a weekly thing?
First off, Messi's "hat trick" as a 39 year old is something to talk about, right?
to get him to practise and matches. We know a young lad whose parents take him an hour down the road and back throughout the week to play for Crewe youth setup - one of the better known youth academies over here. Half of these kids wouldn't get anywhere without the simple stuff like driving them around and washing their kit. 
I agree. I did this process with my son and baseball, getting him around good instructors until the maturity kicks in. When he walked off the field his senior year, 18 years of a wonderful processes came to a close, but his comment was, "it's been a good ride".Messi is a talent no doubt about that! He's been fortunate to have such a lengthy career too. He's looked after himself well.
I'm sure your grandson will find his own way. I think one of the worse things that can happen to a sportsman or sportswoman is that they lose the love for their chosen discipline. If he loves what he's doing, he won't need any guidance. He'll just need a taxi
You sound like his go to chauffeur and cheerleader
