TheBigAristotle posted:My five-a-side team has a pretty good keeper and he's constantly telling me when I need to make adjustments or if I'm blocking his view of the ball, or just not staying central when I need to. It frequently leads to defensive stops. I fuckin love it, I'd rather take orders and win than get mad because I might disagree with the keeper. That's great and all, but if this thread is any indication, most American keepers are fat goons that play keeper because they aren't good enough for the field.

Tonight I had a defender ask me why conceding a throw-in is better than conceding a corner. Another defender asked me which way to force the ball on a 1v1, towards the center or away from goal. I try not to yell constantly like some keepers, but goddamn some players loving need it.

I just play 5 a side each weekend with my mates, nothing truly competitive. But we've been doing it long enough for me to take note that the ability to make a good, intelligent run is something lost on amateur players completely.

Wow, running a 5k 3 times a week uses totally different muscles than soccer, gently caress am i sore... can anyone explain to me why coed leagues require a female touch on the offensive, and not have a competing coed league without that rule? I get the 3 females on the field but the female touch totally fucks with the flow of the game.

The co-ed league I played in for years didn't actually require a female to be on the field/roster, it was just open to them if they wanted to play. Chuck out one of your 5k days and make it a speed work day instead(suicides/intervals/whatever).

Chas McGill posted:I don't really understand what this means? So if you're attacking, you have to have a female touch the ball at least once in the opposition half? Yep, so if you are on a breakaway (dude) from midfield and are staring at a wide open goal, you have to wait and pass to a female before you can score. Here are the COED additional rules: The normal number of female players is a minimum of three, not counting the goalkeeper. If a female receives a 2 minute penalty, she is deemed part of the game and is not to be replaced on the field. A minimum of two females must be present for the game to be played. In the event there is only one female able to play, due to injury, ejection etc., the game shall be deemed a forfeit. A female must touch the ball in the offensive half before a goal can be scored. A female must retouch if possession is gained by the opposing goalkeeper. Possession is clear control in the hands. In the unusual situation of a goal scored from the defensive half, it need not be touched by a female. Note, a goal can be scored from the defending half with no touch. A female must take all restarts in the offensive half. A female must retouch on any restart by the opposing team in the opposing teams defensive half. Kickoff is not deemed touch.

The league I'm in is 6-a-side and two players have to be female. Fortunately, we have 4 pretty good girls on our team, so it's not an issue. That "pass to a girl on offense" rule is patronizing as hell

Not a problem Chas, yeah not sure what the reasoning is, seems ridicoulus.quote:The league I'm in is 6-a-side and two players have to be female. Fortunately, we have 4 pretty good girls on our team, so it's not an issue. Yeah I agree it is, which is why when I started looking at other leagues around town they all had similar rules and thought maybe that was common, good to know its just our poo poo town.

Our league requires two girls for the over-30 league (but the girls only have to be 18+), and it's maddening. We're always pretty evenly matched against the other men, but for some reason I always end up on the team with slow girls. So when we go against teams with 18 year old girls who were HS stars, it might as well be 6 v 4 instead of 6 v 6. I can't imagine having the girl-on-offense rule on top of that. We would literally never score. I'm not even sure I've seen one of ours score in the past 3 sessions at all.

Last year our 7s coed league counted girl goals as 2. It was brutal if you had a good female striker and the other team was lazy about marking her.

Indoor coed rules around here just need three women on the field (out of six, keeper's gender doesn't matter), and the men aren't allowed more than three touches in a row; i.e., men can trap, move, then pass or shoot. Two guys can pass back and forth between each other as much as they want anywhere on the field, no requirements for forcing women to be involved in all attacks or whatever. Edit: ^^ That too, girl goals are worth two

These coed rules are insane. Last time I played coed was in a pickup game though and the girl that showed up was really good and made a mess of a few fat engineers (like me).

Where I play mixed indoor, the only rule is that you have to have 1 girl on the field at all times (5v5) and you can't kick it hard/head high at them (moreso if they are in keeper). I'm ok with the rules because everyone knows there's a terminator in some teams wherein if they are losing, they'll just chimp out and start pushing girls/try to put them through the net by powering a shot at them from point blank range.

So my U-10 team won 10-0 this weekend; even after I started to trying to throttle them back by having them shoot with their weak foot, dictating a certain number of touches before they could take a shot on goal...I felt bad for the other team honestly because I don't like to run up the score. Luckily I know most of the coaches pretty well and they know that's not my style. What was really exciting is that the kids are actually trying to do the things I'm teaching them in practice. I have to brag a little because my daughter took a nice a cross from another girl on the team and made a really nice finish with her weak foot (shes a natural lefty shooter even though she is right handed). She scored again off another cross from the same gal and then the girl that crossed those two eventually made a goal of her own. The third girl on the team played in goal for half the game and surprised the heck out of me to be honest. Made some ok stops but made some really smart plays that she did without any real keeper coaching. They were even back passing which most kids in rec never do, they only know how to go forward. Can you tell I was excited?
