The boys did an excellent job of holding positions on Sunday -
Matthew and Ryan as forwards moved into the goal to be ready for a pass while Warren, Berkley, Alex, Tyler, Josh and Joseph moved the ball down the field - the ball handling skills have improved and the team work is coming together.
Brady, Eric and Jacob took turns at playing goalie. Brady - great job getting the ball out of there with power kicks, Eric - you did a great job! First time playing goalie and you stopped those goals - keep up the practice!
I have been rotating the kids between offensive and defensive positions so that they can get a better idea of what they like, and so that I can see where their strengths are.
Our next game is Sunday at 12:30 p.m. Arrive around 12:20 and we can get in a few minutes of pre-game practice.
In the meantime, parents if you can help the kids with practice during the week that would be great and review these tips:
1. Cut off the path to goal.
2. Try to keep possession of the ball.
3. Shoot at every opportunity.
4. Go to the ball, don’t back away from it.
5. Help the player with the ball by getting into a supporting position.
6. Get ready to change.
Thanks again and have a wonderful week - see everyone on Sunday!
