In how many ways can you shoot a sport in the foot? Youth soccer is coming up empty with a strain of S.A.R.S.G. – Shooting Aversion Resulting in Scoreless Games. It is what happens when teams try to win with a dull and graceless style of play – playing a “half-court defense” and waiting for the other team to make a mistake, and when it happens, to capitalize on that error with a goal, and then closure – defending for the rest of the game.

The way the game is today where teams play with flat back lines there are more opportunities for “High Noon” situations. To get good at it all you have to do is practice; practice and practice in game situations then see the rewards. “High Noon’s” followed by “high fives.”

Screaming instructions at the last moment is no way to win anything. It will probably reverse your strategy of getting ahead of the play and coaching your teammates to win. You have to develop the art of reading the play early and preparing your teammates for the next action.
