Sixes was a lot of fun. Very little defense and lots of scoring. Well run for the first year and the 28s had a great turnout. A big positive was the kids just got to play, no club uniforms, mostly mixed rosters. Also limited coaching, no set offense and it looked at times like a neighborhood pickup game. With 4 fast games and getting home to catch most of the nfl games, what’s not to like? This format is a joke for the Olympics but for 6th graders and younger, it is a breath of fresh air.
Agreed, total joke for the Olympics. No place for defensive players because when you have teams that are just attack and middies the defenders can really contribute. They will get better by being there, but if you’re trying to win you wouldn’t pick many. My son is a middie had fun etc, but he scored more goals in a day than he did last season (I didn’t count but that’s probably true). The goals mean almost nothing, it’s like the nba on grass.
