A change to the philosophy this year is that it's open to U7/U8 house league players and there will be no cuts. Upon hearing that, I decided to participate. (great decision, Rob!)
A lot of these kids have never had a real "training session" of any kind. Learning to listen, adhere to safety rules and get organized are probably more important than the soccer itself for the first couple of sessions.
My main goal of the session was diagnostic; to get an idea of what we were working with. I liked what I saw and enjoyed the group. I had a few of them in last year's WSC summer camp.
I have some simple rules:
- Have fun or go home :)
- When I am speaking, I don't want to hear anybody else and I want to see your eyes..
- We do not kick balls into crowds.
