[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so let me understand, you opinion is a bad club typically has a curriculum or a style of play that they work toward teaching?  is that what you are saying?[/quote]

it depends on the style. Coaching young kids to kick and run- which will win a lot of games at that age if you have a couple of fast strikers with reasonable ball skills isn't good for anyone. On the other hand, coaching possession take a while to click and may not get the results parents want right away.  [/quote]

and if a player is a playmaker, he'll want to get the ball at his feet and run at the back line.  by forcing a style of play, much like relying a style of play, you are stymieing the growth of the player.  good coaches can connect with the player and maximize the game[/quote]

Single style clubs tend to squash player creativity - they want kids to execute rote patterns and approaches. Instead of forcing kids to play a style let them discover the pros and cons of different styles. I am constantly seeing kids at the older ages conditioned to only build out of the back or only go direct. The clubs have failed these players because they have been blindly taught only one approach - whatever their club said was the ‘right’ way to play the game. The trend is now possession (because tika taka was too hard). Any serious student of the game knows that possession is important at some phases of a game but an absolute disaster in other phases. If your club says this is the only way to play, your kids development is being stunted. [/quote]
