Welcome to the joys of fall soccer! It always amazes me the dedication that parents and players have despite the wicked weather we sometimes encounter!!
Well hopefully you are not measuring your child's season by goals, because there are some wonderful things happening with each and everyone of them. They are all steadily improving and even beyond that, they are all very "coachable" which is where they need to be at right now. I am loving their positive attitudes and their desire to play as much as they can!
We've got 2 games left! We go back to our 9:15 for U8(9) and 10:15 for U10 (11) this week.
Due to weather and daylight, practices are changing once again:
U8: Please come to both games 45 minutes early so that we can do some organized exercises ahead of time that they can apply during the games. At this point we realize that about 1/2 of the players will be moving up next year and we are hoping to prepare them for those changes (at least some!!) The others can benefit as well, they just probably will not catch on as quickly--that is OKAY!!
U10: We will be practicing on Wednesday nights for the next two weeks at 5:30 until 6:30 (or when it gets dark) Our main focus will be scrimmaging with other teams and understanding positions/field coverage. Many of us still need to focus on ball control--remember, it takes ball control to make the true game of soccer happen. We don't want to see the ball being lobbed back and forth without direction or control. It just makes for two very tired out teams.
Any questions, comments, concerns, please let me know!
Have a great week and we'll see you Wednesday or Saturday!
