[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so you suggesting because a team doesnt have a one position covered by a high end skilled player the club should abandon their curriculum and training.  
The intent is to teach a style of play not cater to one player.   As noted it is tough to watch early on but as the players grow in age and skill it shows that the team can possess, build from the rear and control the game.

Yes a bad goalkeeper will impact that but why scrap a plan because one player sucks?  You teach and they raise their game.[/quote]

that's fine if the kids don't care about winning. When you pass back to a goalie who gets the ball stolen or a pass intercepted a third of the time, it looks really bad.  [/quote]

Passing a ball across the center of the goal with attackers close isn't a good strategy even for elite possession-based professional Clubs.  My kids have always played at barca-style, okay to go back-type Clubs....BUT that is still a fatal mistake to pass it across the goal on auto-pilot.

We have the problem of the players thinking their first option is back.  It's been a challenge to drill it into their head to go FORWARD if there is a good forward option.  [/quote]
