[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The "kick and run" style of play is where a kid boots the ball down the field and teammates run on to it and try to score.  It's the opposite of possession style soccer, where players control the ball and move it down the field by passing, dribbling, taking on players one on one. At younger ages, teams with big athletic kids can appear to dominate by employing kick and run, where smaller, more skillful teams may continually lose.  Over time, the kids with foot skills and the teams that have honed a good possession style of play will emerge as the stronger players/teams.

Yeah, I've been told this a million times, too, but I'm starting to wonder if the possession teams just start winning in the long run because the kick-and-run athletes move on to other sports.[/quote]

not PP, even if you are possession style, gotta finish. we've all seen games that are complete possesion and opportunities domination, but can see a kick and run goal against for the loss.

i'm not sure i've seen the possession style as the prevailing style yet. The games i am able to see online from u18? boys (BRYC) national title to both male and female NCAA finals (last year) iirc weren't won by possession style goals. [/quote]
