      I recognize this and you've done well. The biggest problem to me is that every single post is being made into a new thread. Maybe if they did it less frequently it wouldn't be an issue as some of the stuff has merit in providing good discussion.
      Thanks!

      I'm always trying to make their posts more legitimate and discussion-worthy. Unfortunately, when they are approached to change what they are doing to something more "forum-friendly", they stop posting or avoid the forums.

      Let's see what this latest guy chooses to do. :)

      That's some good points. there is the ideal situation and there is trying to approach within the reality of the flawed systems. I thought it was tough enough dealing with 11v11 competitive/travelling for U10 several years ago. At that time it was seen as progressive. Luckily I had some great parents who didn't care about the team losing, which allowed me to focus on development and a better approach to games. We went 1 year with only winning a single game, yet the parents never complained and they wanted me back the next year. We did well, but the kids would break down to kick and run when they struggled. When they played together with triangle passing with support and ball movement, they did well. Fortunately the next year the kids really got it and we only lost 1 game. The key though is that all of them improved their individual skills both years.

      The viewpoints vary. We have posters hat get it. We have posters that don't get it. And, we have guys that are struggling with the constant compromises they must make while operating inside some really flawed systems. Like 7v7 competitive leagues at U8.

      A consistent problem with many posters. Unfortunately it seems that some people were reading yet misinterpretting the purpose of the article or its placement in the coaching forum. It also bugs me that far too many coaches focus so much on winning that they think their good because their tactics produce results at U8. Unfortunately the focus isn't on the improvement/development of the players on the team. I guess that's just a typical rant for many of us on here though.

      It's not the coaching philosophies that bugs me. It's the inability of some people to read a whole post and comprehend what the OP is trying to say.
