Learning 1V1 play or team passing at younger ages.

Sometimes you have to dribble and use skills to pass. Completing a pass is the end result of almost every skill in the game. Had a coach at u9 whose philosophy was that kids should practice team passing only at practice and work on individual skills on their own. Worked great for boys, who tended to play with siblings or friends at school and after school. The girls teams looked good that one year, but the next year the team couldn't get by just being good at one thing. The team broke up, but I can see that all but one or two of those girls were very adversely affected by the lack of any dribbling skills practice for an entire year. Especially sad since many of these girls left the team worse individually, and not much better at passing, than they arrived.
