improve as a team, and some of the girls described what they are doing. That they are doing anything on their own is great, and they should be commended for it.
However, it is possible to spend the time in ways that maximize the time spent and how it will develop each of the team members as a player. I recommend the following (and these are guidelines and ideas - just getting out and playing with your daughter is also great
practice):
1. Do the 1000 touches workout. If this is done non-stop with speed
it is quite a cardio workout and will leave the girls legs tired.
Try it and you will see. It will also over 6 months to a year develop coordination, ball feeling, and an excellent touch on the ball.
2. Soccer is a game of quick bursts of speeds and lateral agility, not long slow running. Some long, slow running is good to develop base fitness, but interval training is much more important. I have attached some possible workouts (it is by age group and those of you with older players there are workouts there for them also.) Even better if you can take the essence of the workout and on some of them add a ball skill in there also, as we did today in practice. Even if you only have time for either the jogging or part of the intervals, do the intervals.
