[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid's coach is focused on 'passing' at 7-10 years old, then they're not working on 'development'.
They're playing Hot Potato.

Change coaches if you can.

The W or L alone doesn't tell a story at those ages. 
Are the kid's individual technical skills actually developing?[/quote]

I disagree.  I see a strong correlation starting as young as U10 with teams that possess the ball using passing having far better ball control, shooting and other skills than those that play kickball or just try to dribble their way to the goal.  In other words, passing is development.[/quote]

Find me a top ranked youth academy that has 'passing' as high priority in their curriculum and philosophy for Individual Development at U10.

Find me a Scout for a top level club academy that has 'passing' as a key technical skill for  recruiting a player.

You just placed kickball & dribbling in the same undesirable category. How can you be taken as knowledgeable and serious about this topic?[/quote]
