Best teams

[Guest]

What qualities do the best teams have??? One I noticed is they all pass well and move the ball quickly. They don’t have many dribblers.

Ball on the ground. Ball control and accurate. Frequent and accurate shots. Shots come from skillfully created opportunities. Players vary passing and dribbling. Players make space. Players have purpose. Players change positions. Players use skill. Defenders mark, cover and tackle fairly. Players play for each other. Players use positive communication. Players come off the field physically exhausted. Players are confident. Players make good and quick decisions. Players are creative. Players want to get better. Players have fun playing on and off the field.

Its not just about more passing and less dribbling. One of the easiest concepts not drilled into players at an early age is holding/dribbling in space and passing out of pressure. Its natural for kids to try and do the opposite and most parents either think sally dribbles too much or makes bad passes, but its solvable by understanding when to vary passing and dribbling to get good outcomes.
