Quote: Geordie "
Coaches at 8,9,10,11 and even 12s who think that the way to becoming a good team is to actually have a couple of big lads who others find difficult to tackle and just keep giving them the ball or have 1 or 2 quick lads who try and run around the outside.

And again, in girls' football, there is also that tendency - particularly with the speedy ones. There is a balance between getting them to be positive and getting them to play as a team which is one of the joys of junior coaching. Look at Spain - pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass.... until there is a clear opportunity, then take it...
