[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One other thing to the poster who said they have seen improvement.  I generally dont think the kids skills are getting better for the most part. I do think the team plays better which is a direct result of positioning focus. It depends on what you were talking about in terms of improvement   [/quote]

To answer your question, I was talking about better technically.  Again, that is just from what I've seen with our kids.  Appreciate others may have different opinions.

No doubt the kids have gotten better tactically, as you correctly point out.

There has also been a bigger emphasis on developing physically, which has also been a welcome change.   [/quote]

If you believe Bethesda cranks out technical and tactical players, guess McLean teams play technical & tactical 2.0 then. Developing physically!! No, the club is bringing in bigger players at the younger age groups if that's what you mean. The jury is still out, but let's see how those bigger kids work out in a couple years as the club has a bad track record with not being able to develop kids when they no longer have a size advantage.[/quote]

Different poster and 07 parent here.  At the U14 age group at least, Clyde Watson's ECNL team cannot play out of the back at all.  They are one of the best local teams at that age group, and Clyde is a great coach, yet that team cannot handle even light pressure without the back 4 repeatedly turning the ball over.  Maybe that part of their "technical and tactical 2.0" training will happen in later years, but right now it is below average for other teams at that age group.  [/quote]
