[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our u9 boys play much better when their coach is vocal. Many of them don’t see the field the way an experienced player does... they need to be told to back up, go back to their position, spread out etc.

Of course they do...that's not the point. 
What's going to happen the first year they don't have a vocal coach? Will they be able to make any decisions on their own?

Different poster, but I have to ask what you think will happen?  Is your idea that a kid who at U9-U11 has a coach who reminds them of positioning when they are in a game will get to a silent coach at U12 and just...stand there?  Unmoving and unable to make any decisions on their own? Because that's absurd.  What will actually happen is that they will slowly obtain greater mastery of the game in the first few years, helped along by coaching instruction in practices and games.  They will require less instruction each year as they go along (other when they are working on new tactical patterns), though if done right, it is still appropriate and should be welcomed throughout their playing career.
