| One of the parents on the team was talking to me about the drills that I do for the kids. What I try to do is give them techniques to work on over and over again throughout the week. But the Parents of a certain child feels as if I'm over working them. I thought that repitition was something that would help the kids get good at it. Am I doing something wrong?

I would like to know what exactly you were doing with the kids, but in my view repetition is the key to youth players learning.
While you don't want to over do it and keep some fun in it, it is the basic rule for all learning.
"Repeat something every day, for 30 days and it will become instinctive or a habit."
Why don't you ask that parent to send their kid to a coerver camp for a week.
They will probably call in the police and claim child abuse.
It is what they do all week.
As long as you are working the drill into a game like setting and adding some fun afterwards, you are right on track.

I would be good to know what is the medium age of the children in your team,also how many hours do you train them a day,and how many days a week.These are important factors to a workout.
As soccertr I agree that repetition is the best way of learning at the start And a bit of amusement in every session will definitely do wonders.Don't over exhaust the kids and try talking to their parents.Good communication is always a plus.

| Repitition is a great way to instill the kids with proper technique and fluency. However, add some small changes like who can do the most correctly game. Let's say you are teaching outsteps. Standing infront of a ball practicing outsteps can be boaring but when you add, do it with one hand over your left eye or one hand behind the back can add something different to a repetitive drill. Yes I agree a lot of this depends on age and hours per week practicing.
