Coach was trying to get them to just send it deep, then just scramble

for it on the other end. Kinda like a 'dump and chase' play in hockey when you're crossing the blue line.

But they weren't quite getting it.

Did eventually have a couple of kids wise up and throw the ball over defender heads, since the goalie is allowed to use hands.

Are you talking about goal kicks or when the goalie has the ball in hand? -- WuhBuh-DC_Hokie 04/05/2016 10:22AM

Both situations led to screwups on Saturday. Mostly goal kick issue -- Late 80s Hokie 04/05/2016 10:43AM

Got it. We stopped our goalies from kicking/punting the ball. -- WuhBuh-DC_Hokie 04/05/2016 2:35PM

At that age sometimes just best to teach em to kick it out towards the line -- Jerseyhokie29 04/05/2016 09:44AM

Yeah that was our 8yr old kickoff strategy. Have the big guy dump it down -- Jerseyhokie29 04/05/2016 10:20AM

At U8 I'm happy if they just get the ball out of the penalty area. ** -- Gator Hokie 04/05/2016 08:54AM

Our club put in rules that requires defenders to vacate for goalie kicks -- WestyHokie 04/05/2016 08:57AM

Ball isn't in play unless the goal kick completely leaves the penalty area. -- Gator Hokie 04/05/2016 12:05PM

Well, in this case the "penalty area" was the 3 pt arc. ** -- Late 80s Hokie 04/05/2016 12:18PM
