In Olympia, the stoic of the American state of Washington (not to be confused with identically named federal capital) there is a specific football league (in America it is called 'soccer' popular in Europe, while 'football' is reserved here for the discipline known to us as football American) for young people.
In order to cope with the negative effects of competition and competition, football matches are played ... without the ball. This is called a 'ball-less soccer'.
- Here at Olympia, we watched the competition affect the youth and it is usually something negative, especially if you play in a lost team - said Helen Coyle, head of the Olympia Youth Sports League in an interview with Canadian CBC. - So last year we eliminated the concept of scoring, which meant that there were no winners and there were no losers. But in many respects we thought it was not enough. You had to physically eliminate the ball.
- Training the ball without a ball is difficult because I have to have a big imagination - admits coach Keith Schultz. His primary task is to track where the imaginary ball is. Any coach can train a child in football and have fun, but the real challenge of my job as a ball coach without a ball is to track where the ball is and how to train children, how to track the ball and where the ball is.
If this program is successful, Olympia is considering removing the ball from some basketball leagues.
