[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with one poster that mentioned that possession soccer with 1-2 touches then passing the ball reduces ball handling skills and creativity. During Rec, my DD’s coach kept yelling for her to pass the ball right away but I told her to dribble the ball out of pressure so she can learn/practice her foot skills and then pass the ball. This helped her tremendously. [/quote]

Teams need dribbling skills to play possession, especially building out under pressure where a lot of 1v1 battles develop in the back and midfield.  Teams like to high press these days and possession teams like to invite that pressure to unbalance the defense.  The dribbling point is a good one though.  Dribbling under pressure is encouraged early to learn dribbling because it is harder to learn than passing.  Same with possession.  Building out from the back is harder to learn than long-ball, but has the teams get older, you'll see more of a mix with building out the default choice, but possession teams more than willing to long ball it to mix things up.  Regardless of whether the team is possession oriented, long-ball oriented, or a mixture, creativity is always needed.[/quote]

I agree with all of your points. Kick ball is not bad if used at a particular time and place and done correctly with accuracy. [/quote]
