Looking for thoughts on playing the ball back at younger ages- U8/U9. During a game, my daughter was reprimanded by her coach for playing the ball back to her defense (she was playing midfield) when she had a man on her back, was shielding the ball and facing towards her own goal. She was near the sideline at about midfield and her team retained possession, so I'm having trouble understanding this correction. It raised a bit of a red flag for me. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Am I missing something? Thanks!
