The following video is split basically into two. It is from what we believe is one of the best youth soccer coaches in the country and the first part demonstrates a well developed, possession based youth team. They are, according to the author, 1 in 1,000. The 2nd half is a team that is not well developed and represents the norm for youth soccer.
WHICH PART OF THE VIDEO DOES YOUR YOUTH TEAM LOOK MORE LIKE? SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS.

Even the top 10 teams in the state play like the 2nd half. I would agree. It IS the norm.
WOW! Great video. It is sad, but true. What does that say about NJ youth soccer development?
I don't know, but the lack of comments here suggest people care more about points, state cups , and bashing other parents than god soccer.
I like points and State Cups. And I don't a lot of bashing here which is great.
"They are, according to the author, 1 in 1,000"
Do you really think this subject requires comment?
Yes, a lot more than comment.
For the Love of the Ball. is a great book about the history and training methods of the FC Barcelona Academy that any soccer parent will enjoy!
Love the site. Hopefully this evokes better than the other one many of us our accustom to. Keep up the good work and THANK YOU for doing this.
I read a great book or at least a chapter in it today. David & Goliath from the same author as Outliers which is also an excellent sports book. Read the chapter about the Indian software entrepreneur in Silicon Valley who coached his daughter's 7ht/8th grade basketball team to the Jr Nationals. A little like the above team in the video...sort of. We could use more of that in NJ soccer!
The 01 PDA boys team plays like the first half..others try but after about 3 passes it falls apart
That's great. You don't see it from CSA or Real?
