This may be true on the boys side, but the girls are more possession style.

it is not even funny, possession at u10 (2014) when no one can juggle 50 times and zero ball skills. They teach kids at uLittle what they supposed to teach them at u14 and higher. But sometimes it allows to win tournaments.
uLittle it is all about soccer techniques and ball control. who play tiki taka at u10 done with soccer at u17. you can find european academies games in youtube. high intensity, lots of dribble,
lots of transitions, lots of individual tactics, no real team tactics, no kicking (long directional passes are ok sometimes), it is better to loose ball when you dribble than kick. Here at uLittle to much team tactic or kicking. it is bad for development good for temporary team result. "more possession style" for Ulittle is marketing like ekkono method to grab more money from parents.


But the FB and IG pictures of teams with medals are so adorable

gotcha. I'm sure the 3rd team at bethesda will eclipse the 1st team because of this magical coaching method.

This means they sent a coach to get a coaching certificate in this area. As payback for their investment, they can say the incorporate this method now.

So this just sounds like what coaching and training should always be, assuming development of players is the priority. If this is being implemented at BSC, what was happening before? Is this a way to standardize coaching, maybe?

I believe it’s soccer IQ.


But isn’t soccer IQ taught all the time? It’s part and parcel of training and development. What is different about the Ekkono Method?
