First Game Jitters

What a game! The boys finally got a chance to play! There were jitters and moments of "what do I do" but they did great. Hopefully now they know what to expect and figure out that they need to chase the ball. We need to encourage them to stay in the whole quarter because pretty soon they will not allow me to sub so much unless they are hurt or just won't come in the field.

Please work with them at home on dribbling and to chase the ball. Play follow the leader at home, Mom or dad dribble the ball around the yard and have them follow you with their ball. Thats all I did with Lucas, dribble, dribble, and dribble!

Next Practice: Tuesday 5:15pm - 6:25pm! as soon as you can get there.... :)

Note: From now on we will only practice once a week, that is all that is recommended at this age group, most skill development is built upon practicing at home. Its like piano, guitar etc... you learn the basics and how to at practice but the building of skills is done at home.
