[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has BRYC moved away from the "kickball" style of play?  I rarely see the teams build and work the ball up.  It's mainly the backs booting it up to the fwd's bypassing the midfield.  I get you want to win, but it does a dis-service to actually teaching the kids how to play the game correctly.  Yes, you might win using the "kickball" style (and I admit it does come in handy when a team needs a goal), but I think if you play that style the whole game it doesn't teach your kids to build the ball up and work together as team which is necessary especially as the kids get older.  If they don't learn to build from their own side and work the ball up as a team, they'll be struggling in U15+ games.   [/quote]

Is this a troll post? You are playing gotcha IMO. If the ECNL teams are playing build-up and possession styles but losing yet resort to kickball and start winning you will find somethign to complain about.
And are you referring to Academy teams or Bridge teams? Bridge teams suffer most from kick it style, but that often is because 1) since they are bridge they aren't quite as skilled as most academy team players and b) NCSL-level teams play flat high lines and generaly don't know how to balance their defense and thereforre it's easy to expose that with long through balls either through gaps or over the top.[/quote]

I thought BRYC was struggling because their Cheap bridge teams with parent coaches were better than their expensive travel teams?[/quote]

PP is such an over-generalization, it's hard to even know where to start. For one, the Academy teams do not, by default, have better players than the bridge teams. As discussed upthread, the problem is that talent is spread out over many teams with no coordinated strategy to consolidate talent at the club level. [/quote]

Sure there's a strategy it's called try outs. If Bridge players don't try out it's a moot point. No one is turning away players who could make an impact.[/quote]

Bro they dont even cut players who tryout. Its the triple price of academy over bridge bridge for the same level of play that keeps players away[/quote]
