[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]who claim to not teach tactics as they put their team in same lineup of a 4-3-3 with two CDMs and demand the back line get the ball to wingers for crosses. You’re the real heroes.

DS is finishing his first month at a new club and imagine that, soccer is more than 1v1s and scrimmaging  :lol:[/quote]

A question - are what is described above effective youth soccer tactics from a results perspective?  Also is it wrong to emphasize tactics and have some core tactics and formation?  [/quote]

Example- I coached kids to send the ball to the sideline on goalkicks, and then the defender tries to clear down the sideline.  I have a big kicker as the right defender for this, so now we are on offense.  Or I have a big kicker as the goalie who bypassed the defender.  
This is all pointless skills wise, as teams focus on maintaining possession and pass the ball around in the back to advance the ball.

In rec at the lower grades, the other teams tended to have at least one goalie or team that would have trouble, and we scored off of their goal kicks, while on our own the ball is gone to their side real quick.  I had a player nearly pass out just running back and forth trying to intercept the goalie's plays, not getting a break where they actually clear the ball.[/quote]
