We had a great practice yesterday, thank you to everyone who showed up! We know it’s a busy week with back to school schedules for many of our athletes, and we appreciate the effort.
Yesterday, we focused on off-ball movement drills:
- Basico
- Overlapping drill with finish
- Off-ball passing drill
These are exactly the types of drills most players need right now. During our short scrimmage, the kids really started to put things together, we saw some excellent long crosses across the field and forwards in position to receive them. Remember: when in scoring position, you have about 3 seconds to shoot or pass.
We also did a short possession drill to help players get comfortable with contact. Toward the end of practice we did a quick demo on setting up a wall. We will practice these drills again in future weeks.
Weekly Routine 🏋️♂️
We want players improving, but also staying fresh. With multiple sports going on, please allow time for recovery. Aim for 3–5 days per week on the following: These moves are demonstrated on the skills page.
- Matthews – 10 reps with the right foot, 10 reps with the left
- Maradona – 10 reps with the right foot, 10 reps with the left
- Scissor – 10 reps with the right foot, 10 reps with the left
➡️ Also, work on bounce juggling — 100 touches.
