Mandatory assignment for all players

Players,

I hope you have enjoyed the time off. I have putting together some new practices and thinking a lot about what we can work on. I have included a link to a video that shows some of the things we will focus on this season. The video is of Zidane - arguably one of the best players to ever play the game. Here are the points of the Zidane video:

• Players almost always pass after 2-3 touches - if not 1v1 PASS to the open player
• Players off the ball are always moving into the support position in front, on the side and behind
• Ball is played to space so the team mate can run on to it
• First touch starts everything (fundamentals girls) - WORK ON THIS AT HOME

This is MANDATORY watching. Every player must watch it. See you on Monday ready for a great practice.

Final chance for goal keeping training

Parents,

Goal keeping sessions have been scheduled 12/1, 12/8 & 12/15 during our regular practice time. If your daughter is interested in trying it out, please let me know. We will have our regular team practice in addition to the goal keeper sessions on those dates so look forward to seeing everyone there.

There is no cost for the GK session for those on our team and it is a low pressure way to try it out and see if it fits. I already have two committed to trying it and would love to get 1 or 2 more.

Thanks,

Rich

Goal Keeper Training

I spoke with the Goal Keeper trainer tonight and it sounds like we can do three sessions once a week the first three weeks in December. Probably on Monday at the same time as our practice (we will have our practice as normal but those involved in keeper training will go with the trainer). If your daughter wants to attend these sessions, please make sure I know so we know what to expect. This trainer will be working with all of the LFC teams that want to send players and if your daughter is interested, it would be beneficial. Let me know ASAP since I need to let the trainer know by tomorrow night. Just send me a quick e-mail.
