[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve seen a few of the Arlington DA teams play and their style wasn’t inconsistent with that I’ve seen of other conference DA teams.  They were possession focused and looking to force play forwards when opportunities presented themselves. They took time to reset play when they weren’t.  They were very aggressive in pressing when not in possession. There was no “send it” or “forward” commands at the matches I watched, that must have been a different group.  To the person who said there was some bad play, I’d attribute that more to talent differences between teams than style. Based on what I’ve seen from many teams, the style these teams are trying to play doesn’t vary too much and is not direct in most cases. [/quote]

I agree with this.  They definitely are possession focused but they do send through balls if they find a weakness in the defense.  Of course, the goal is keeping possession, but that is easier said then done.  [/quote]

Yes.  As the talent levels rise and are nearly the same, mistakes can increase due to pressure on both sides.  Or if one side is more talented and faster than the other, then you typically see the more talented, faster side put a possession clinic on while the other side blunders.  This is typically when I might see more direct balls out, from frustration.   The same blundering team though, playing against a weaker side, is more able to play possession successfully without the clearances the other poster refers to.   It's important to differentiate between rushed, atypical play caused by pressure and what is being taught and applied when these teams have time to execute.[/quote]
