8/19 Optional Session

No matter how Useful we may be, sometimes it takes us a while to recognize our own value.

-The Tao of Pooh

Today was an optional session down in Woodbury and we still had 22 girls out at the session. 

I.  Team Building

Wheel barrow races were in order today.  We did a couple different races and had the girls take time after the first two to think about the best way to hold their partner's feet so they would be sturdy and able to go fast without breaking down.  Reinforcing the benefits of thinking things through before going out and doing them.

II. Skills Training about 40 minutes

Juggling challenges, work on 1st touch, individual moves

III.  8v8 Scrimmage- Value Possession Of The Ball

It was a normal 8v8 games but I had the girls concentrate on 3 ideas:

1) Can I score

2) Can I set somebody else up to score

3) How can we keep the ball

I want the girls to be able to go through that thought progression very quickly before they get the ball and when they have the ball.  The biggest challenge is to get the girls to have a purpose for what they are doing.
