Thurs. Jul. 19, 5:30P, Alimagnet We will be working on the skills of: sending long balls and set pieces **Warm-Up 1. with a partner, moving and passing 2. start 15 yds apart - demo then practice 4 types of long balls: driven, lofted, chip, bend coaching points: ball must reach target, choice of pass type depends on D positioning **Free Kicks - attack and defend split team into 2 groups with pinnies. practice direct and indirect FKs, incl. creative plays, walls, etc. coaching points: quick restart, know your role, keeper decides if a wall is needed and directs it, O does not need to wait for the D to set up, use movement to confuse the D, no standing around! **CKs - attack and defend Coaching points: near and far post and PK spot coverage, short option, Keeper leads the D, O use movement to confuse D, runs to goal from outside of goalbox. **scrimmage - w/ keepers. no restrictions.
