[quote=asksoccernova]I do not worry about U6's bunching up. They only play 3v3 anyway. You can't expect kids to stop bunching up until they learn passing technique, and understand that in order to make passes, they have to spread out. Just saying "spread out" 100x does nothing. They have to know WHY. There are plenty of fun passing exercises / games that you can do, and then its obvious to them that making a 1-foot pass has no benefit. You can also start to have them pass in triangles, 3v0 and eventually 3v1. I've been able to get U7's to understand it, U8's can really start to move the ball around if reinforced, and U9's (if taught properly) can actually play 3v1 and 4v2 possession games. They just have to be taught the right way. It does break down on game day sometimes, so you still have to reinforce it over and over again in practice.[/quote]
