11/15 2v2v2 With Targets To Goal

The girls were fantastic this morning and they jumped right into the street soccer with tons of energy.  I don't know if it was just a one day thing that they were ready to go with no yawns today or if it was because they knew that they would be playing right away so they were awake.  I'm hoping it was the latter.

20-50 2v2v2 With Targets Continuous To Goal

This was a really fun game that I did with more numbers with our U16's this past week and it worked very well.  There are so many different things you can work on in this game and it is always moving.  The game takes about 10-15 minutes to work through and get the kids to understand the flow of the game because it never ends and you switch from offense to defense so quickly.  My main goal for today with the game was to just get them to understand how it works because we are going to be doing this game a lot this year with varying numbers.

 When the girls understood the game it went really well.  The good/bad thing with the smaller numbers was that the 3v2 was pretty easy for them on offense.  I'm hoping that we will have enough numbers to move up to 3v3v3 so it is a 4v3 and a little more difficult for the attackers.

50-70 Ball Striking
Lots of reps working on shooting with the laces going for forward spin and no spin from 25 yards out.  We added an option for an outside of the foot shot and a toe poke during the last 10 minutes.

We did not have our agility training after the on field today because Evan's Augsburg team had won their first game of the NCAA tournament and he was in California.
