[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a good example from WS-VA's U16/U17 team just a few months ago.  Look at about the 1:15 mark, when the goalie picks up the ball.  She ends up punting it, but it's not because playing out of the back wasn't a good option.  They don't even try.   In that situation, when the GK picks up the ball, a possession-based team is trained to immediately get into shape to try and play out - the CB's drop off and get wide of the box, the FB's push a little higher and get wide to the line and open up, and the MF's look to get free and make themselves available as options.   The WS players do none of that.  This is not a team that is trained to play out of the back, and a team that is not trained to play out of the back is not a possession based team.

That's a single case.  If you actually attend WS-VA games you may see the same team get into position and the keeper rolls it out.   We are on a younger team and more often the balls rolls out to feet than is punted.   The keeper will punt when the other team is in a high press and vulnerable over the top.  This is a decision.   I can say with certainty that I've seen coaching to shape and play from the back because I've seen/heard the guidance from the sideline.[/quote]
