[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really wish that they played 9 v 9 on proportional fields.  Part of the reason clubs play "up" at 11 v 11 the spring of U12 is that the players have outgrown the 9 v 9 field (that they have played on since 7 v 7).  At that point, you have goalies punting from one box to another and shots on goal from close to midfield.  The 9 v 9 field is really too small at that point.[/quote]

That is bad coaching as I have said for at least the 50th time on this board.  The smaller space is designed for pressure in tight spaces.

Punting is a desire to get the ball out of our half in the name of not giving up a goal in the name of winning.  We are fixing a problem without diagnosing the root causes which is poor coaching and a lack of understanding about development.

My kid came from a small club that is made fun of on this board.  [b]There was nothing funny about how he destroyed 1st team players that beat us in games[/b].  My son has given up alot of goals while learning on his own how to play under pressure.  Until American's let go of results pre U-15, we will keep having the same BS development results.  So many of the kids I see could actually be great players but they are playing on track teams instead of developing under a soccer coach.[/quote]
