[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a good coach can start getting kids to pass even at a really young age. One of my kids had a great coach for soccer in second grade. When they scrimmaged he would not count a goal unless there had been at least 3 passes leading up to it. He made a big deal about passes during games and would give little rewards for most passes and assists. He gave no positive reinforcement to the kid who hogged the ball even though he scored a lot. Most of the kids figured out that team play was what earned them the praise and rewards, so they did it. I wish other coaches were as committed to this. It’s so painful to have a kid who never looks for the pass and just throws up terrible shots. Seeing that in basketball now.[/quote] I love that, great coach. Very rare to see. It often stinks for the rule follower kids who don’t get the glory but will make the passes and play the game how they are being coached to play it well. [/quote]
