A player of mine used a rear crossover kick to shoot into an open net. We were playing U10s from the same club as ours and of a much lower ability.
I told him off for the the manner or style of his kick telling him it was bad sportsmanship.to just put it in the net nicely.

was i right or wrong ?

What is a rear crossover kick?

Do you have a video of what one is?

The general rule when playing weak opposition when I was a kid was score a few quick ones, then give players time in positions they dont normally get to play (e.g. striker in at gk, midfield to rb, etc).

I havr no idea how organised u10 soccer is these days thoigh.

Structured football is full of well intentioned parent coaches who spend a lot of time telling players don't do that, don't do this etc. You will end up with dull non-creative players.
As a side note get your players to play beach football where by exhuberance is encouraged.

My kid did it when they were 10 nil up. I fair gave him an earful in the car on the way home.

Disrespectful and unsportsmanlike.

is he not playing komodos ?

Not any more. Moved out of that age group. (Now in the SAP.)

It wasn't him anyway, it was the middle one.

In any case I don't like it but I realise, just like blokes think Kygrios' behaviour is alright, that mine's not the only opinion.
