Hello Parents:
Not sure how many players will be returning? I will find out Monday August 31 at our coaches meeting.
Keep checking blog for practice dates and times.
In the meantime please work on these skills at home:
1. Dribbling - Dribble the ball back and forth from one side of the yard to the other. Tell them to keep the ball close to their feet.
2. Shooting - Have them shoot the ball really hard at a goal or to a specific goal.
3. Passing - Have them pass the ball to you using the right inside of their foot then their left side of their foot. They also need to receive the ball properly with the toe up and heel down.
4. Toe taps - Have them use both feet and count to 10 while doing them.
5. Pull backs - toss the ball have them pull the ball back with their right foot and dribble to you.
6. Shielding - Have them dribble the ball towards you, then you try to take it away and have them protect their ball by either going around you or using their feet to win their challenge.
7. Defense - You dribble the ball towards them and tell them to try to take it away and either kick it away or take it and dribble.
If you work on these in the next few weeks the boys will be well prepared for practice and we can work on game tactics and situations!
Keep checking the blog for practice dates and for a video that I will put up really soon showing the skills they need to learn to have a successful TEAM season.
See yall soon Coach Desi......
