[quote=Anonymous]Coach here. There's a lot of assumption and variables based in the thread's initial question. Generally, you teach young kids how to play with the ball. Control receiving it from any direction and send it in any direction to a specific place. As they get older, well it's a players game. Some kids don't like combining or possessing and want to take on defenders. Some just like latching onto a through ball. It's a players game, so 'teaching possession' (using that moniker) to me is limiting. I teach them how to attack, different ways to transition (namely pressing), and principles of defending. Possession should be a tool in the game, not an end-all-be-all assessment. Some coaches will agree with me, others won't. But I try to ensure, even when we do possession games in training, the purpose is attack-minded. And if they don't want to possess in a game, they better get a third lung because they'll be owning the game less.[/quote]
