11/9 Futsol

Evan took the girls for twenty minutes before training to do some strength stuff with the girls.  He has to be creative on these days because he just has the hallway outside the gym to work with but the girls got in some really good reps and technique work.

We started out in the small gym today with our footskills training.  

0-15 Dribbling technique: Side Rollover-Push, Rollover step-over, rollover step-over scissors

15-35 Passing Technique
The girls were in groups of three and we concentrated on 1 touch passes.  

I wanted the girls to get into the habit of checking to at angles so the girl who was working on the 1 touch pass had to reset every time and make sure she was checking back properly.  The other aspect of the exercise was to have them make a 1 touch in a different direction than where the ball had been played from.

I challenged the passers who were not doing the 1 touch passes to concentrate on their form and make each pass sharp and follow through properly.

After working on that for about 20 minutes we spent the last 5 minutes working on 1 touch no look passes for fun.  The girls really enjoyed it even though most of them were not able to get it to work today.

For our futsol portion we divided out into three teams and played Triple Crown Cut Throat where in order to win you had to complete 2 out of the 3 options: complete a nutmeg, complete a give and go around someone, score a goal.
