12-2 Futbol Sala

Mark usually runs the U12's Futbol Sala on Sunday's but today he was away at a scrimmage with his U14's so I had the girls.  I run our Early ID program in the other gym at this time and I have found that it is weird how not coaching them for one session a week makes me feel like I am missing out.  However, it is great that the girls get to work with Mark on a consistent basis.  He is able to get ideas into their heads on how to play that combine with my ideas and you can see the progress each week.  In Holland each U17 team must to have 2 coaches and this is a great set up if the coaches can get along.  There are so many more ideas that are brought out this way and some kids will relate better to one coach and other kids will relate to the other coach.

I.  Ball Masters
Lots of quick touch combination moves.  We use the sole of the foot for the majority of these moves.

II.  4v4 Plus Goalies 3 Grid Game
The same game we played yesterday.  Some of the girls really started to take charge today and it was fun to see their confidence growing in the area of communication.  They also started to see how if we reorganize quickly and win the ball back it creates lots of counter attacking opportunities for us to score on.

III.  Futbol Sala
Time to play.
