Futsal/Street Soccer - Sunday, March 11

5:00PM - 6:15PM @ Lake Junior High School (Woodbury)

Long weekend for the girls.  Two game on Saturday, FIT Training this afternoon, and now Futsal.  I thought the girls would be dead tired, but they walked into the gym excited to be there and play.  Bidi brought her iPod and speakers, so we blasted music during the entire session.  The sitting team would occupy themselves with various dance moves and a lot of laughing. 

We had 17 girls there (the entire team), so I divided them into three teams (2 teams of 6 and 1 team of 5) to play winner stays.  We played games to 1 goal and each team got a point for a win.  I also awarded team points for Scissors, Step Overs, Fake Pass Slap Cuts, and Nutmegs.

I didn't coach much this session, focusing more on the fitness aspect of four activities this weekend to simulate a possible four games in an upcoming tournament. 

I love watching these girls play Futsal.  Many play with confidence and flare, and the more shy girls are slowly coming around and being more assertive on the field and with the ball.  The games are super competitive and super enjoyable for all the girls, and I love seeing the tired but smiling faces at the end.
