We will be working on the skills of:
Passing, Control and hustle

**passing and sprinting - 10x10 grid, 8 or fewer players in each grid
A B  balls at A and D.  A passes to C and sprints to D while D passes to B and sprints
C D  to A (pass straight, sprint diagonal).  Continue.  All passes 2-touch
Coaching points: good pace and placement of pass, fast sprint, solid trap

**dribble, pass and chase - 10x30 grid w/ 5yd end zones, 3 players in each end zone
x5x20x5x   A1 w/ ball, dribbles 20 yds to other end zone and passes to B1, B1 dribbles
A10  B10   back to other end zone while A1 chases.  B1 passes to A2, A2 dribbles to 
x5x20x5x   other end zone while B1 chases.  Continue.
Coaching Points: good passes, receive in direction of movement away from pressure,
 immediate chase.

**4v4v4 transition game - field in thirds (middle third smaller), 1 team in each third,
keeper in each goal (keeper plays for whoever is on Defense).  B|R|W.  Go - The red team
 starts in the middle third and attacks the blue team.  If the blue team wins the ball,
 the red team starts defending to keep them in that third of the field.  This is working
 on the quick transition from offense to defense.  If the red team wins the ball back
 in the offensive third of the field, they continue to attack the ball.  The blue team
 tries to win the ball an get out of their defensive third of the field.  If they
 succeed in getting into the middle third of the field, they then attack the white
 team in the other third.
Coaching points: must immediately move to D on lost ball, hustle to keep ball in attacking
 third
