[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a very young daughter and I really hope that both technical and athleticism is valued.  How can you the parents support girls soccer that is 95% long ball?  If the parents support this by allowing their daughters to play this style, then they are just as guilty as the coaches.  You all only care about winning.  It's really sad.  There are definitely coaches out there that teach and encourage technical soccer.[/quote]

Coach here:

I'd say many, if not most parents don't have a clue about soccer. That is changing a little as the sport becomes more popular in the US with adults, but still lags well behind knowledge of the other "top" sports. This allows some clubs and coaches to get away with a lot of teams when it comes to the education of the sport involving youth players.

My advice to every parent is if you care more than about having some fun and exercise, is to research your potential club and coach. Go to some practices and games BEFORE tryouts if possible.

To the poster I quoted - there are plenty of coaches that value both and I don't think it's 95% long ball, but it can certainly be better. I hope you find the right home for your daughter.[/quote]
