[quote=Anonymous]OP, you basically are saying to simulate and flop. Don't try to window dress it.  My DS is slight and draws fouls not because of his slight frame but because he is shifty and makes people bite on his cuts. My only instruction to him and other players like that--as their coach--is to try to get into the box with the ball or to take people on in the final third because they have a high chance of earning a penalty (in the box) or a free kick, both of which will help the team.

When they are being bodied off the ball and shy away at that point is that it's okay to try and push back and stand their ground because they will find that in most instances they cannot push that other player out of the way--there is no way they will hurt the other player by doing so, and that if they are competing like for like the bigger player may indeed foul them because they will actually have to push back and may push too hard. Big players and pushy players don't like to be challenged like that.

But in the spirit of the game I don't condone flopping just to flop. I have seen referees go back later and call a foul even if the player stayed on their feet--they checked to see if the player could still realize their advantage first.  [/quote]
