Training Sessions 8/23 and 8/24

Abbreviated training sessions here.  I was going to update them over Labor Day weekend but since we were able to tape our games using the Hi Pod I was way to distracted by learning and working on that stuff.  It is a really cool device.

8/23 Training and Scrimmage

I) Juggling

II) 1st touch and passing technique

III) 1v1 Tag to 1v1 to endlines

I will get the graphics up for this game as it was really cool.  Tim Bunnell showed it to me after he saw it at the High School coaches convention.

IV) 5v5 Games

We were scheduled to go from 1:00-2:30 today and the U14 group had the time after us but they had decided not to use it so I through out an email to the group asking if anyone could stay and play.  We ended up having 22 players for the whole thing.  (1 U12 player, 1 U14 player, LP's dad as super goalie, and myself.)  It was a fun game that ended up 3-3.  LP's dad really heard it from all the fans as we scored 2 goals in the 2nd half to come back from a 3-1 deficit.   

8/24 Training

I am blanking on what we did and I can't find my notes.  I know that the session involved our usual first 30 minutes of juggling, 1st touch and passing technique, 1v1 moves.  Then I know we did 2v1 and 2v2 activities and finished up with small sided games.
