[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It you have 4 or more technical players it really gives you a lot of options in terms of style of play and tactics. You can change style of play and tactic in a 1/2. If you have one or two technical players it really limits style of play options and tactics.

+1.   And If you have 4 technical players, depending on the coach and Team, they can raise the Technical level and motivation to be technical for the rest of the team.  We saw that happen. They really all developed that mindset to be better technically and worked outside of practice to do that.   [/quote].

Good luck with your business if your mission is to focus and promote only 4 players while the other 75% are ignored. As a club you may not get that far in recognition.  While this approach may work for clubs with  pro teams in a pro league for which costumers are fans, it will not when your costumers are players/parents (each and all looking for the same ROI).

Remove the top 4 girls(technical or just very athletic) and see how well you team does. It’s always about the top four girls. The coaches always spend the vast majority of their time and energy with the top girls. [/quote]

Oftentimes those 4 girls leave out of frustration anyways. 4 technical kids on a team is just not enough. One or two kids who just don’t know what they are doing can cause more damage than 4 girls that know what they are doing can help. There really is no place to hide in 11v11. [/quote]

I agree.

But on a typical EDP team, how many girls are technical?  (Please note I’m not asking about ECNL/GA players as it could start a war.)[/quote]

Technical is relative. There may be many technical kids on a EDP team but they may lack elite athleticism.

I’m really not sure what you are trying to ask or hope to hear. But being a technical player is a personal journey and it never really ends as long as you are playing. Most of the technical foundation is laid by 13 and most of the dye is cast by that point. This doesn’t mean that at 13 you can’t improve anymore, it just means the ease at which one can improve becomes harder. Social, academic, other interests all play a role in time dedicated to improving overall.

Past 14 soccer begins to resemble kids when they where 6-8 years old again. Some take it very seriously and others simply enjoy the game with friends. This is when a huge talent gap simply grows. Some kids see playing beyond HS as a real possibility and others know it isn’t and are just playing to play without a dedicated effort to improve beyond the club or HS team they are currently on.

You have a few good and interesting points in your post especially the dye is cast by 13 and the past 14.

As for 4 technical girls. It really depends on the team. Sometimes it just takes a few technical girls with good personalities that can elevate, motivate and bring the entire team together. On the other hand, a few technical girls with toxic personalities can destroy a good team. [/quote]
