[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it is happening a lot, you need to try get into a higher division or higher league. It's not helping your team develop.[/quote]

This. 
What age is the team and what league are you in where these kinds of blowouts occur?[/quote]

If it is a CCL team, there is nowhere to move up for any of the teams, except at tournaments.[/quote]

NP here.  We are having this situation in CCL Next Gen.  It is our first year in that league and it seems like a really poorly designed system, from the development perspective anyway.  All the A teams from the different clubs play each other and all the B teams play the other B teams.  Our son's team is a pretty good, but far from unbeatable, B team and they have won all the games by double digits.  I think maybe there has been one goal scored against.  Sounds like the situation is the same for the A team from our club.

Our coach has not made any adjustments yet though maybe he will later in the season--we've only had 3 games so far due to weather cancellations.  He already follows all the best practices of rotating players in all positions, including goalkeepers, equal playing time, and stressing passing.  I don't really love the way the artificial restrictions like taking players out or requiring a certain number of passes work out for either team (have been on both sides of this in the past with other kids' teams).   You are not really playing soccer in that case.  What I hope is that maybe CCL will be willing to re-balance part way through the season so there aren't so many lopsided games.  Probably doesn't work with their structure of having two clubs' teams all play each other on the same day though.[/quote]

Interesting.   There were some disputed assertions on CCL thread that all CCL games are close and decided by a goal or two, but this post portrays a different picture.  I think this post is probably more accurate, given that CCL is a closed, by application only, system.  [/quote]
