I was an eighty-pound wonder boy who made up for his lack of size by being slow and weak.

0-20 Partner Juggling Challenges
We did about 5 different challenges.

20-30 Footskills

30-50 1v1 To Gates
I wanted to switch things up a bit today and focus on 1v1 competitions.  We've been doing so much passing and small group play lately so today I wanted the girls to focus on beating players 1v1.  I divided the girls into 4 teams and had them keep track of their team wins and losses.  We played this game dribbling through gates instead of shooting into Pugg goals.

50-60 Large Game With A Large Ball
At this point in the winter season it is important to make sure the girls are still enjoying training so for fun I brought out a giant bouncy ball and we played a scrimmage.  No goalies were allowed.  I added in the variation that if you could catch the ball off of one bounce you could punt it.
