[quote=Anonymous]DC is on a team (teen ages) where some of the players that play positions near them are playing a style that has them moving a lot into other players spaces and dribbling more and not passing often. They hardly ever switch the side of play or pass back and the ball mostly just moves forward and often gets lost as a result.

It makes DC look terrible as DC does not want to get in their way and is used to a team that plays more possession style. DC gets open and positions well but the other players will just try to take the ball up themselves even if it's a bad idea instead of making a pass.

The question I have is what can DC do in these situations to make himself look better to the coach? The coach seems to reward the other players even if they are playing out of position or holding the ball too long. Is the best strategy to play in that same way and be aggressive in getting the ball at all costs and then keeping it to himself to show off their dribbling skills?

I know some of you are going to just say the solution is just to leave this team but please assume we cannot do that and DC needs to play out the season.[/quote]
