[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve checked out a number of the live streams over the last few days, different age groups, and I have to say I’m surprised the quality of play isn’t better. Some of these are supposed to be well regarded clubs and teams. Rarely see a team string together more than a couple passes. Lots of kicking the ball down the field to the other team. The fields are quite bumpy maybe making passing more difficult. But I guess I expected better. Most of the college games Ive watched are similar though so I’m not really sure why I expected better. My takeaway is that it’s not very hard to play on an “elite” soccer team if you are committed. Generally disappointed in the state of youth soccer.[/quote]

It about run fast and individual play. The backline clears balls long. The backline players has done their job. It does not mater if the long ball clear is to your player or the other team. The forwards need to do their job and win those long balls. Most of the long balls or “passes” are 50/50 balls which are turnovers. That’s the game. There is little need for passing or team play. The problem is if you run into a team that is skilled and plays as a team those long balls are turnovers that after 3-4 passes are 5 yards outside your box. Elite teams do not turn the ball over.

Where can I watch these elite teams that don’t turn over the ball? Or is it just not happening until older ages?[/quote]

This was u15 against number 1 ranked PDA December 2019.

Watch the first 1:25 .

At 4:44 I count 7 PDA players running towards their own goal...not too good.[/quote]
