The philosophy at Valeo, is that as coaches, we never discourage our players from being creative and pushing back as plays develop non matter what the score is. That's why we are so successful. The sport is about putting the ball in the back of the net and we will continu to think that way, even of the score is 15-0. We think like champions and we train the young players to think the same..champions. Tryouts in June.

Is there any value in winning games 9-0?

However, there is pressure on the coach to control a game that is 8-0 at half time. I sympathize with the poster above's coach because he/she probably felt tremendous pressure to keep the score down and would in all likihood been torn to pieces on TS :)

All this crap about shooting off to the side and doing all sorts of stuff that a coach is asking his players NOT to do normally is BS. If you train your team to play a certain way and it is working why change it because it is working? "
Your sensitivity is amazing. I hope you are never on the losing end of a pummeling.
What life lesson are you teaching your players.

Thank you Francis. I can tell you that at our club, NEFC, we think the same. Our Elite boys teams are programmed to reach that double digit scoring mark as quickly as you possibly can. This is what we engrain in our players from a very young age. The Elite teams are very successful and they don't take losing very well. Our players will rarely make eye contact with the opposing teams and view the officials as enemies as well. When we are in the soccer trenches, we are ruthless and we take no prisoners.
Thank you,
Christian

Here at GPS, things are different. We as a club, view cheating as an integral aspect of our philosophy. We assemble our system's best players, create super teams and dual and double roster those players in our quest of winning Got Soccer ranked tournaments and then selling our very best U13-U14 players to the Revolution Academy. We feel this sort of player exploitation works best as we strive forward and get more in line with Europe's and South America's young player exploitation model of soccer development of young talent.
cheers,
Peter and Joe
