[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here. Thanks for the insight. I just watched these other teams in awe at how "together" they were. Hard to commit to these tournament weekends to watch the team get blown out. [/quote] I know "winning" a U9 or U10 game is essentially meaningless. You can tell if they're developing skill. The score is often a product of which team has the better goalkeeper, and many clubs aren't even training their goalkeepers at that age. But I do sometimes think we overdo it. Losing game after game after game wears down kids' interest in playing. I know a kid who has played 30 tournament games in five seasons. Hasn't won a single game. They have five or six wins in league play over that span. They're not great players, but there are some basic tactical things they could learning at U11 and U12 that would make them more competitive. How long does this club expect these kids to stick with it?[/quote]
