Day 5

Just some thoughts from today……. By the way – only 3 players read the blog and did the fakes…..

This is what we need to do:

Can we dribble and win one on one? (Hint: use opposite foot, arms and speed) watch this:

Please note the use of the arms and low center of balance.

Can we pass accurately and crisply? (Hint: lock ankle up and strike through the ball)

Can we be creative in play making? (Hint: movement on and off of the ball, going to space and talking. A BIG play killer is holding on to the ball too long. Do that enough times and are your mates going to make that run for you?)

Can we be in support fast enough? All of the time? (Hint: how do I support the player in front, beside or behind me? Where is the space?)

I have 4 or 5 freshmen vying for varsity. Is it you? Are you ready? Can you play your best?
