Never mind.  Saw the other section and someone already addressed this topic

Hi scott,

cheers,

Dang Robert… Over a year ago.  Not sure where it was but I’d look at the blogs from the beginning, not the end.  For what it’s worth, I ended up doing exactly what I proposed  above.  Worked okay, , though we also did get the league to move the goal kicks up to the penalty spot.

Oh, well, Scott. It was worth a try anyways… Thx for your prompt feedback.

8v8 – Goal Kicks Set Up

FWIW, Scott, I set out our stall last season as follows:

————–GK————–

—-OFB————-OFB—–

————-HMF————-

—-OMF————-OMF—-

————–B2B————–

————–STR————–

Whereby the HMF doubled as a CB & the B2B had true freedom to roam. When the latter pushed up, the HMF pushed up with him & the OFBs too, albeit a bit delayed. This we did to great effect, though I hasten to add that it was more jungle ball than true football. This season will be my trial run using the 3four3 approach. It will require a great deal of patience, but I’ll combine it again with the Play Better approach. I’m at the bottom of the (hopelessly broken) Canadian soccer pyramid up here, so tapping into the intrinsic motivation of the boys to perform is a bit a nuanced challenge. 🙂

Cheers,
R.

And now I see that you’ve found it, Scott. Much obliged! 🙂
