Clara,
Yeah, lots of the upper middle class go to Jorge Rolando Bauger, but he frankly is the only coach for kids wanting to learn futbol in SD who does it right. My son wanted to learn "soccer." We heard about a group that Pascascio teaches on Saturdays at Loyola high school on Av. Bolivar. Pascascio coaches the girl's team at the school & in return can use the field (a pretty good one, or was anyway) for his classes & his summer soccer camp. Pascacio has heart & loves the game & promotes it hard but focuses more on inclusion & fun & less on skill development & knowledge of the rules. In terms of really teaching the skills & rules & discipline, Bauger was much, much better.

So we switched, even though Bauger's schedule was far more cumbersome for us. The difference in my son's enthusiasm was remarkable. "This is soccer, dad!"

BTW, my son has continued with soccer here in Northern Virginia's local leagues, and although he is not able to match the Bolivians, Salvadorians, Peruvians, other Latins & the Aussies (yes, Aussies!) that abound here, he enjoys it alot still, so yours truly is willing to continue knocking myself silly to get him to all those practices & games.
Best Regards,
Keith
