[quote=Anonymous]After watching my son in games this past year (he's playing w/ 1st grade, 2nd graders), so much of his performance depends on whether he gets the ball during the course of play. A lot of kids either can't connect with a pass or just try to drive to the net and score regardless of who is open, so if he doesn't happen to pick up a lot of ground balls in the scrum or the play happens to be mostly on the other side of the field during his shift, he doesn't get much of a chance to show what he can do.

No big deal for rec games, but he's trying for club/travel teams now. Anyone have advice on whether to tell him to just keep playing the "right" way and hoping to get a pass or should he just play hero ball and try like hell to be around the ball at all times? There have been games when he gets the ball a ton and if that happens during tryouts, great. But there have also been games where by chance he doesn't get on the ball much, which would stink for tryouts. Anyone who knows about the game at this age and how coaches evaluate kids during tryouts and scrimmage-type drills?[/quote]
