Quality of play should be an add on and not replace results in my opinion.
Ball size 4 for u13 is good
Whats the value of scoreboard results in your opinion?
Isn't scoring more than the opponent the objective of the team?
Not in youth development. The US's culture upon winning the scoreboard is hurting our long-term prospects of developing talent. SYC routinely wins during the Puberty Wars in early MLS Next play but then gets played around in the late teenage years because the kids were not focused on ball mastery during those important years between 10-14 and don't know how to fundamentally play at a high level with the ball.
Isn't it a matter of priority? It is not all or nothing.
Over a period of time say 1 year:
Team wins and play well = GOOD
Team loses and play well = GOOD
Team wins and play bad = NOT GOOD
Team loses and play bad = NOT GOOD
Your comment about SYC is a thing of the past the upcoming u littles at SYC kids are athletic and have skills.
