U7s is telling the players to pass pass pass not the right thing to do?

I tell my players to pass pass pass and that passing is as good as scoring. I want to see this in games, so I do a lot of passing drills and Rondo drills in training, I try not to neglect skills (mastering the ball etc) and ball control, but should I just be concentrating on the individual getting better with running with the ball and skills to get themselves past players and out of trouble i.e. congested area of the pitch?

    Again as with everyone I think everyone has their own opinions and views on this. Personally as someone that coaches u8 and u12 teams at this age group I believe limited coaching should be given and they should just play and express them selfs without fear of not doing the right thing. at this age they don’t understand the concept of passing and the benefit of it.
