What is the ultimate style for any team? Should it be one-touch passing? Or should players be trying to dribble around 2 or 3 opposing players even when on defense? I am talking about high school age teams. Aren't college teams looking for one-touch passing?

As far as passing and dribbling goes it really depends on where you are on the field. In the back, basically, you dribble in space and pass under pressure. You pass to open players who have space, or you dribble until you pull a defender away from another teammate which will create space. As the saying goes, a pass is quicker than any player on the field. Ball movement will open up a defense in the middle of the field and create passing lanes and opportunities for scoring in the final third. Whether that comes from a one touch pass or a pass off a dribble, it all depends on where the ball is going and the timing of the next play.

I have noticed a trend at all levels of the GK kicking it long every time, whether a goal kick or a punt. Same thing with set pieces away from the distance. We have the ball, let's keep it. Let's loosen up the defense and give our midfielders room to operate.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYou are absolutely correct. Thanks for a post that, unlike ~80% which are pure snivel from uninformed, angry parents, offers excellent insight. As someone who at 17 was selected to the U19 Youth National Team (so was my youth teammate F.H. on the Lake City Hawks) and at 18 turned pro (NASL), I rarely read posts on TS that reflect edifying insight. This one does. Thank you. I was taught the the German style of play, methodical possession, which produced, from 18 youth players on a single U18 team, three pros, six full scholarships, and three partial. Is it the best style? Not sure. Our coach, W.S. out of Seattle, was brilliant, focusing not on wins, but on player development. This, more than determining which "style" is best, is critical for "player" success. The reality is, however, club coaches these days get paid to win games, championships and bring home the hardware. This is focus on "team" success. Which do parents want more, wins or player development?
