[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with soccer in our country is that coaches at "top" clubs think that they need big and tall kids to win. They remove all creativity from the players. Possession, possession is all they say. The minute the players dribble or get creative they are taken out only to be told not to do that again. I have seen this at Bethesda, Potomac, SYC, etc. We have the worse teachers of soccer coaching and suppressing all creativity and talent. They promote win win at all cost. Cost of development. Most directors of these clubs have been trained in the same ineffective soccer philosophy. It will take a long time to change this culture. Then, add the $$ component to travel $occer and there you have it. [/quote]

This is nonsense.  My son has been at three clubs and two MLS Next teams and I've literally never seen the suppression of individual "creativity and talent.". All of his coaches have encouraged individual creativity where appropriate and by kids who have the capability to do it. If your kid consistently over dribbles and loses the ball and makes the entire team easy to defend in doing so, sure they'll be told to keep the ball moving.[/quote]
