We had 30 players and only had the indoor field for 60 minutes so we kept things running so we could get into a game quickly. Our session was simple ... we did passing while running over 2 different drills then got into a game. We wanted the boys to get back into soccer mode and a game would keep their attention.
The coaches didn't pay much attention to each individual player as we just wanted them to enjoy themselves tonight... but that's not to say we didn't notice some good things from some of the boys.
Thursday we will be indoor at the Niagara Falls Sportplex. That field has no boards and the turf is better. We also have the Niagara College gym booked Mondays and they have proper indoor goals.
Thursday we will give them another 15-20 minutes of active ball work again and get them into a game. once we shrink the group down we can get more into teaching.
The good thing is that many of them are registered in the U14 house league that runs on Wednesdays.
Looking forward to watching the next few weeks unfold.
