This. It's for the coach to deal with.[/quote]

And if they don’t deal with it then what?  Nothing?[/quote]
Yes, unless you are the coach. These kids are so young. These things will sort themselves out over the next few years as being a ball hog won't work at 11v11 and when the other players/teams are passing circles around them. You need to adjust your expectations for what 9v9 soccer looks like. [/quote]

This. Make sure your own kid understands why passing the ball is important. And if his/her coach doesn't start working on that with the team, start looking elsewhere. The ball hog is not your problem.[/quote]

At this age, kids are wanting to be at clubs to play with friends.  Look elsewhere?  Nice idea, but not reality.
We've had the same problem with a kid since 7v7.  Dad always makes an excuse - "oh, they'd pass, but X, Y, or Z is offsides OR no one called for the ball"

Eventually, kids will just learn to freeze them out.  [/quote]

If they're playing 9v9, the reality is that the era of playing with friends is about to end anyway.[/quote]
