[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the speed of play the ability to read a game situation and appropriately apply the necessary skills to execute a play? If it is, then skills training and the right coaching is more important at u12 than playing at the most competitive level. I know plenty of girls that have played for non-ECNL/DA teams at U13 and U14 and developed into exceptional players who went on to ECNL/DA at U15 where they displace girls who would have been better served playing for a team that focused on developing players. ECNL/DA is the place you go once you have the skills and knowledge. [/quote]

The problem is that you don't experience the same speed of play in practice.  It is most apparent in game situations.  This is not to say that players can't get there by another route, but the better the competition in practice and in games, the more challenged players will be. Why do you think people complain about dilution? It's because they think their DD's would develop better playing against the best.

On the girls side its not really speed of play. You would be surprised by the lack of technical skills of some of the players at u13/u14 ECNL/DA level in this area. It just takes a few players to slow the speed of play down. Many times there are more then a few payers who lack the skills needed to not break play. It’s more the aggression and physicality that is tough to find in the next level down. [/quote]

Completely agree with this. There is a severe lack of technical skill education in this area - even for "elite" teams.[/quote]

But every club claims to have superior development? With the amount of BS and marketing coming from the local clubs about how they all play the right way, you would think at least basic of footskills would be addressed.[/quote]

Yet sadly - not so much. Finishing is a joke, and ball handling is just sad to watch.[/quote]

Yes maybe more finishing or striker clinics for kids who do not have the basic ball skills will solve everything.  :roll: [/quote]
