[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone name some clubs in the area that plays possession style soccer?  From what I seen of FCV, that looks like one of the clubs?[/quote]

The only 2 clubs in the area that play a possession style - club wide - are Alexandria and FCB Escola.  It's possible some of the girls DA's do, but I couldn't say for sure.  Per US Soccer they are supposed to, but lots of those girls weren't brought up that way and will revert to old habits when under pressure in a competitive game.

Other clubs may have a few teams here and there that play possession, but mostly what you see is simply horrendous soccer.  Lots of "big kick", "down the line" (regardless of how many defenders are already in that space), dribbling into dead ends, "not across goal!", "not in the middle", and of course the ever ubiquitous - "GO!"

If you try to count the # of 4+ pass strings, or # of times a team even attempts a switch of play, ... it will be very depressing.  It is not at all uncommon to watch a game between 2 supposedly "elite" teams and not see a single back pass the entire time.  Not one.

Parents should demand more for their $$, but you have to know more to want more, and most don't.
