[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]At very young ages, it is an effective exploit that bypasses development the offense should be doing (building out/midfield) and takes advantage of development that the defense should be doing (kids learning different positions/rotating). As the kids get older and become more positionally aware, this exploit should become easy to shut down if it is the only thing the O does, so it is an issue if the D can't. As a PP also mentioned, a valid way to mix things up (e.g., O catches D pushed up too high).[/quote]

OP here.  Hmm.  My son is a midfielder and he is definitely involved in the game - not just standing there with balls constantly flying over his head.  So I am thinking they are likely mixing things up?[/quote]

You're probably taking this personally. No one means that the midfield doesn't touch a ball at all - being literal. This is a generalization. The commenter was just saying what he saw overall. Even if the ball hits the midfield, he probably did not see as many passes as he would like.

This weekend my son's ulittle team ( possession based play). Passed from midfield, back to defender, keeper, back to opposite defender, winger, midfield then striker before scoring. This is the type of play that the commenter may be used to seeing. [/quote]
