On a side note, wasn't ManU's performance at Wembly disappointing. I still am amazed at how much better Barcelona was over ManU... what I am still not able to get my arms around is how good these professional players are but when you watch ManU and they are unable to string more than four passes together before losing the ball. Is it style of play, surely not lack of technical ability? That is an interesting graph. On a side note, wasn’t ManU’s performance at Wembly disappointing.

One of the things I have noticed about kids at this age is the importance of being confident on the ball. I think too many coaches get concerned about pieces of the game that are not relevant for six year olds (e.g. like tactics or positions). I agree about teaching dribbling and scoring at this age.
