[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]kick and run works! thats why some teams and coaches use that style and parents scream to send it. since it doesnt rely significantly on skills other than that of a decent boot, speed, receipt and shot, it can be useful as pp mentioned. eapecially if goalies are still developing. and if your end game is scoring goals, winnning and it works, then its hard to not consider it as a tool in your toolbox. we've all been told it wont work in a couple years, but clearly it siill used once in a while and can have a significant game impact.

in the end, whether wrong or right,  for many (not all) winning records equal customer sales satisfaction and aids recruitment of more players, some whom may be stronger, which may influence others to join, ,hoping that training can aid in development that doesnt rely on kick and run. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.

while training and development should be paramount, winning isnt meritless. having a team that can maintain significant possession and change it up once in a while take advantage of a long ball isnt terrible in my opinion.

Our club is very possession oriented, to the extent that we often dominate time of possession, but fall 1-0 to a single successful kick and run play.  Our club's teams practice possession so much that the girls often give up good opportunities for better ones in games.  I wish we could spend even 10% of our training time on finishing because we suck at it.   I hear the coaches say the same thing... "stay the course, that k/r strategy won't work in a few years" but at U14 it's appears to be still working... what exactly is it that changes that causes the possession game to overcome this infuriating but common style?  I watch collegiate games and see alot of kick and run too so it persists.[/quote]
