1/6 Futsol Training -Defending

It became obvious to me by scouting that there are a lot of ways to win and succeed.  Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant at Alabama and Coach Charles McClendon at LSU were different, but the one thing all great teams had in common was that they blocked and tackled very well.  They executed the fundamentals of the game.  This made me all the more determined to be the best teacher of fundamentals in the country.

With the new session I will be taking the girls for the futsol sessions and our main focus during our training portion of futsol will be on defending.  I have seen our offensive ideas and execution get to a point that it has become too easy for us to play offense in training.  So if we are going to get any better on offense, we had better start improving our defense.

-Have your partner start far away from you and throw the ball up high, but make it short so they have to sprint forward to catch the ball.
-Have your partner start close to you and throw the ball up high and far so they have to sprint backwards or turn around and run to catch the ball.

We worked on the routine we had started yesterday.  There was already a lot of improvement in the girls rhythm.
