[u12] Traps

[Thomas Piergallini]

Tough practice today.

 

And when I say tough, I do not mean the girls got a work out.

 

I mean it was difficult to watch how bad everyone's trapping ability is!

 

Big field 11v11 soccer is all about collecting the ball.  

 

We lack this ability.

 

Without it, well, you know the rest.

 

Get outside with your player, throw the ball into the air, and make them
trap and move the ball.

 

All hope is not lost, as there was definite improvement between when
practice started and when it ended.

 

On a positive note, the girls all appear to have a really good time playing,
so we do have the task, "soccer is fun" pretty well under control.
