I've said it before, and I'll say it again: you are severely underestimating your skill as a coach. You actually understand the game and are eager to teach the kids strategy and skills. Maybe this is typical of the coaches for your soccer club, but I find it hard to believe. These kids are like 7 years old, right? Most coaches I've seen, especially for the younger ages, just run the drills and make sure everyone has time on the field. Admittedly, my experience was almost entirely with baseball, but still. The coaches were all parents who thought taking on a team would be fun; most of them had never actually played the sport themselves, except maybe as very young kids. None of them showed even a fraction of the interest in improving individual skills as you have.

Since the other coaches aren't interested in group practices, I think you should issue a challenge: next year, just give you li'l lookout, and the 9 lowest-ranked kids, and you will still kick everyone's asses.
