All,
Good game for the girls yesterday. They are responding well to the coaching points and we are improving every time we play! As we have discussed, the primary emphasis at this point is on individual skills and confidence. Each time they touch the ball, I would like them to try to do something skillful with it. Control it first, then dribble, pass, or shoot. No question that, in the development process, they will often turn the ball over. That’s OK - the only way to get better and gain confidence is to “just do it!” For now, this is what we are after and I will positively reinforce the girls when they do this – regardless of the outcome of the specific play. As an aside, “kicking to clear” does have its place, but only as a last resort in front of our goal!
Next week’s game is 12:45 with a 12:15 show time for the girls. See you then!
Go Wave!
