Right, it sounds like what US Soccer wants is to eliminate lazy Rondo drills. That drills must have a focused purpose.

Except there are numerous reports from coaches from different states from the East coast to the West coast that USSF instructors at the coaching courses tell coaches that they will fail the course if they try to use rondos. Either this boneheaded approach comes from the federation or from the people that the USSF picked to teach their coaching courses. Either way, it does not look good for the USSF.

Well, after all, who can possibly argue with "numerous reports" :/

Numerous reports, brought to you by an anonymous source on DCUM soccer forum.

What could possibly go wrong here.

Wait, WHAT? They seriously discourage rondos?? I don't pay attention to USSF coaching education, but this is idiotic. It's also how most European teams warm up, certainly the successful ones.

Our DA team warms up with rondos. This is yet another crap comment brought up by some anti-US soccer nut who found a quote in an interview somewhere and extended it into some fantasy that US soccer discourages and forbids rondos as a matter of policy.

Par for the course, here, unfortunately

Our former ECNL always warmed up with rondos, games or practices. It was part of the process. At our GDA, the girls may do it on their own while waiting for practice, but I've never seen any rondos at all to warm up for the games.

Not my experience with DA.

Rondos are regularly used.

It's probably club specific. My point is being in the DA doesn't mean you are doing rondos. That's not a league requirement and not something being implemented universally.

Guess what? Rondo's aren't a requirement anywhere. It is a technique and tool used by some clubs and not by others. It is coach to coach, club to club how and when they are used.

Move on.

Oh wow! That was such an epiphany! I'm so glad we have you here to clarify when we can and can't talk about rondos, clubs, leagues, and other subjects.

If you don't want to talk about it, you move on. Read another thread.

Ummm, no, move on. The title of the thread is:
"USMNT vs Ecuador Game Thread" not "Rondos, to do or not to do, the debate of the US Soccer Development Academy"

Rondos have not been eliminated from US Soccer, so you can move on considering the topic is about a specific soccer game.

Rondos have not been eliminated in training in US Soccer.

No, but they don't seem to be specifically endorsed and encouraged. There are certain things US Soccer wants to be part of every DA's curriculum. Reps of US Soccer haves watched our practices and games, and nothing in that regard changed. So rondos aren't forbidden, and they aren't encouraged. They are tolerated.

I did like a poster's point about directional rondos. Well taken.

Typical threadjacking used by the anti-US soccer troll going over the same topics that have been rehashed over and over. The same exact line of argument and article reference even was used in another USMNT thread a few months ago. This obsessed individual has to make his/her points ad nauseum, even when they aren’t necessarily based in fact. Sound familiar?

It gets so old but never seems to end.

You can't possibly be talking about my rondo comment. My daughter is in the GDA. We are drinking the kool-aid. That doesn't mean it's a well oiled machine.

This whole thing didn't have to have 20 posts either. I would have made my little comment and moved on, but being told in a way or another to shut up will definitely give me something to say.

SHUT UP AND MOVE ON

Why are you so defensive? Do you work for them? I watched the game, I've seen US Soccer and the entire system evolve. Shout and stomp your feet all you want. Then let the adults speak.
