[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the kids are well coached and it is fantastic they can connect so many passes. It is so much better than other teams I see at all ages.

The problem I see is that there is such a thing as passing too much and not getting practice making something happen and trying to be a playmaker. It would be nice to see four or five passes then having a kid be aggressive and dribble past 2 or 3 players and make a run and shoot or cross. I just quickly watched but didn't see any playmakers. There didn't seem to be many shots on goals. What was the final score? [/quote]

Amen!  Passing just to pass is ineffective. You pass to find an opening to exploit. You pass to be patient when it’s not “on”. You pass to possess when it makes sense. Yes, there are far to many youth teams that don’t know how to pass well, but going overboard is not good either. Also, please stop with the anti-athleticism blather. Soccer is a sport and athleticism matters a great deal, as does intelligence, skill, and desire. [/quote]
