>>[cht] I agree with the speed of play..As far as girls soccer in S.C. We make alot more mistakes but the other thing I noticed at regions this year is that the stronger teams still play as a unit.I seen to many players from S.C. trying to do it themselves and there is no way that is going to work in that atmosphere<<

I'm with you on this. It is incredibly frustrating to sit on the sideline, see 1-2 open players on the 20 to the right, and see a player on the left carry the ball and try an impossible shot -- and beyond frustrating when all the parents cheer.


These are the types of things I was referring to as tactical decision making and teamwork. Deciding to shoot rather than pass is not a technical skills issue. It is an issue of making a better decision in a specific situation. And yes, good decision making is more difficult under increased pressure and increased speed.
