[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think youth soccer development should be number 1 . Winning is part of development and yes its important. I think learning to win and taking pride in the work process go hand and hand. You have to use losing as a tool in development to drive yourself to be successful. The goal is for it all to come together. The work , the setbacks, the achievements , its all part of the process.[/quote]

Absolutely, but there needs to be a place where players/coaches can try different positions, formations, etc. in a game setting and the scrimmages should be the perfect place for that. Yes, you should still play with intensity and a a desire to win. But, posting the scores on a forum like this without any background information about the game itself, feeds into clubs/coaches being pressured to not try different things because it hurts their recruiting potential since parents start to draw conclusions based on these scrimmage scores.[/quote]

Unfortunately people cant look past the score. Coaches and parents who understand sports can. A good coach is just as upset about an ugly win as a terrible loss. But almost all will take that ugly win every time regardless of their soccer culture. The people who get it will be able to see the development as it happens in front of them. Whether its week to week or start of season til end.[/quote]
