[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Barcelona style looks great, Richmond U plays great BUT to be able to play like these teams you need a team full of players that can play at the same speed (timing and skill). When you have only a couple of players that can play this speed it does not work. A teammate will never be on time to receive the pass for example so sync is disrupted. Coaches organize teams based on their players skills that’s their inventory. Use it as best as you can, if that means sending everyone but one player to help defending then do that.[/quote]

Kids should know where they are going with the ball if they get the ball. Other players should do the same. This is literally one of the few real coachable things that can be accomplished regardless of skill.

The kids in the video know nothing more than blindly sending a ball to space or or holding the ball until they are closed on by a defender before they decide what to do with the ball.

These are things that can be practiced and obviously they are not being taught and haven't been at any level. Kids have been selected based on their attributes and technical skill. Well, when under pressure their technical skill falls apart because they have no understanding of the game beyond a U10 level.

There was no effort to drop the ball backwards in order to keep the ball. Everything is forward or die. The defenders would rather die than switch the field instead of blindly driving the ball forward. These are decisions, and often decision based on fear and lack of trust.

It isn't that these kids can't play a little more possession based they just have not been taught and entrusted to do so when nothing mattered. This is when the truth of when people say "all those U -little medals don't mean anything" come to reality. Parents just don't see the cracks in the foundation while the team is winning and based on the video and the pride in which is was posted they still don't.

You will continue to win because the style is organized chaos. Kick the ball forward and hopefully a big athletic kid wins a 50/50 ball and does something with it. Do that enough times and enough goals will go in. That is what the presented game was. [/quote]
