First futsol session of the year today.  It was 75 and sunny when I walked inside to the gym and it seemed wrong to be training inside today.  Two weeks ago when I scheduled the past weeks training outside it was 40 degrees so getting indoor time for this weekend seemed like a good idea.

Since it was the first session of the year we did 15 minuets of footskills and we spent the rest of the time playing.  I divided the girls up onto 4 teams and we played a round robin tournament using both the futsol courts.  

Since we are still working on their creativity and thinking ahead we used a modify point system to incorporate Give and Go's and Nutmegs

The point system we used was:
-During the games goals counted as 1 pt and Give and Go's counted as 1 pt
Wins= 3 pts
Draw= 1 pt
Loss= 0 pts 
-Every nutmeg that a team completed added a bonus point onto their team's over all standings score.
-So if you won and had 3 nutmegs your team received 6 points.
