doesn't matter about pros or not pros, kids who don't learn to skate properly, handle a ball properly, kick properly aren't going to have any success even at the junior high / high school level.

toe punting a soccer ball might work in elementary and get you goals and win a game in house leagues, but it won't get you anywhere past that when you play skilled players who can dribble / handle / pass in u14/u16/u18.
