[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a u13 DS and his rec team plays punt and run.  Oddly enough it has worked for them since they have 2 speedy guys up top that can beat most players but got totally exposed in the semi finals when the other teams defense could keep up with these guys.  I honestly hope it was a lesson learned for the coach but doubt it.  Other typical issues with a must-win attitude, weaker players ride the bench, players are forced to only play certain positions unless winning by more than 5.  I told this coach this is the fundamental reasons why US soccer is broken; EVERYONE SHOULD PLAY.  Sent him articles and everything but no dice.  And yes to doubledown this is rec soccer...not travel.

Frustrating. But this is not soccer, what you are describing is kickball.  [/quote]

Sadly I know.  I try to make recommendations but it goes unheard.  The funniest is they play a 4-2-4.  The midfielders get crushed on the counters and "strikers" dont run back to defend.[/quote]
