Shielding
protect the ball. I have not worked with the girls on this. But this is next. For you with basketball knowledge, think boxing out.
Skill – Scissor
I have taught the girls this move. They need confidence. I challenged a few of them during practice during our 1 on 1s and they did it like I knew they could and scored. This move will work every time at this age when done correctly.
5/31 Game vs Ignite
- Hi Everyone! Tough tough game today! The girls fought and fought and we were just not able to get clear opportunities.
We had chances to take the last defender one on one but the girls didn’t have the confidence we are looking for. Yet!!! This is slowly changing! - As the game went on we got tired. The game was intense back and forth. Nylah, Sophie and Lucia played hard on defense and really helped us. That transition from defense recovery to quickly turn it into attack is something we need to work on but we will get there. When we did play quick we were catching them off guard and really were dangerous.
- Camilla with a great goal! This goal happened because of some great build up. Defense recovery to Attacking the sideline, crossing and being first to the ball. We had some good passing combinations here and really got us excited to see things coming together!
- We had some great saves from our goalkeepers Camilla and Brooklyn! Brooklyn with the save of the game!!
