Putting 4 Training Topics into action 2nite--Players READ!

Girls, I am listing some things we have been working on at our training, PLEASE READ for tonight.  I know we will have many out tonight for indoor games, but for those their, please put our training's focus points into action tonight.

   1. We played 35 minutes of 5 v 5 –remember playing a 3-1-1, moving the ball from side to side, using our forwards and midfielders checking to the ball to help move from side to side when needed, with our midfielder and forward interchanging constantly, both finding pockets of space and passing lanes (“seams” as Dan Blank describes in Soccer IQ), and NEVER turning into pressure;  but playing back or wide to our 3 backs, and then moving quickly to new space, always trying to find that time to advance ball when girl can play a give ‘n go, or turn and play forward (she should be checking shoulder but also hearing well before she receives the ball “TURN” or “Man On”), with outside backs knowing when to get up and join attack to create passing options, but also be patient on the buildup, always making sure they stay open as passing option for pressured mid and forward to play back too.  Try and remember Sheena in practice as the center mid doing a great job checking to ball with girl on her back, laying off a 1 touch back to a defender, and then sprinting out to other space to become a possible option, but more importantly allowing our forward to check in the new space Sheena created???

  2.   Think of Soccer IQ book chapter 3 (I think—maybe chapter 2).  DON’T JUST YELL TEAMMATES NAME!  Give a purpose with your constant talk—“got me wide, got me back, man on, turn, one more, switch field, look long, etc. 

  3.  QUICK AND CONSTANT MOVEMENT in attacking 1/3^rd.  CONSTANT movement with purpose in final 3^rd when we have the ball.  How can you help teammate with ball, constant pass and move.  If guarded, quickly become an UNGUARDED OPTION, and the second you see you are not an option, QUICKLY make yourself an option  (remember my example of when Hannah had ball with back to goal, and Maria played to Hannah from Right side, and didn’t run forward because two defenders were on that right side, but ZERO defenders were on left side.  Perfect opportunity for maria to play to Hannahs outside foot (her right foot since her back was to goal), and Maria sprint overlap Hannah for Hannah to give a simple ball back to maria for simple finish.

   4.   Last but not least---IF YOU ARE IN ATTACKING 1/3^rd, MANY TIMES you won’t have the time to set yourself up for the perfect strike, with defenders and goalie coming at you.  If your toe is all you can get on the ball for a quick finish, USE IT!!!  A toe poke is used by top finishers in the world.  I have talked about this for the past, 3-4 months (and ironically your Soccer IQ book even addresses this in a later chapter!!!).

   Thanks all!

Sunday Mandatory Practice time changed to 1:00-3:30 @ tower

Hello All,

We are very sorry for the change.  we were just notified from NKSA that we can join a College info session they have arranged with college coaches for their pro teams.

 It is from 4-6PM at the Thomas Moore Saints Center.  The girls are not required to attend but it could be very beneficial.

We will still keep the same content for 1:00-3:30 at tower:
1. NKSA Blue jersey head shot.
2. Read Chapter 1 in Soccer IQ and bring 2 things you learned.
    (book can be bought on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Soccer-IQ-Things-Smart-Players/dp/1469982471/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453264922&sr=8-1&keywords=soccer+iq
  => All girls need this book for this season.
3. Bring a journal for note keeping.
4. Watch 2nd half or Barcelona vs real Madrid El classic.
5. New formation run through on the field.

Girls my leave at 3:30  to get to Thomas Moore Saints Center by 4:00.

See you Sunday,

Eric

Mandatory Gathering Sunday 1/24 from 2:00-5:00 @ Tower

Hello All,

Sorry for the late request but considering the weather and the 2 indoor games we have Saturday and again on Monday Night, we will cancel this Sunday's Practice and add an hour to next Sunday.

So we would like to get the WieKings together to:

From 2:00-4:00 Mandatory we will:

1. Take updated promotional flyer pictures
2. Introduce our new formation for this year
3. Learn about the formation and the expectations by watching a game.

From 4:00-5:00
     4. Practice, Practice

So we want to make this get together Mandatory.

What to bring: Please bring/wear your blue NKSA Jersey and a notebook and pencil and practice gear.

We will meet at Tower Field and go to the press box 1st.

You can also find them on our YouTube Channel Wief King in the "formation" playlist.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGGQlQOEpM_2MqbslEq9SHg


Also we are going to introduce a new app for some aspects of communication especially confirming who will make games and who will not.  Still planning to use Twitter and the blog too.

We need each girl to install TEAMSNAP on there phones from iTunes or Google.

https://www.teamsnap.com/?gclid=CP-w6LLhqsoCFQotHwodFX8Lsg

Our team is...you guessed it WieKings, I think your parents may get an e-mail from TeamSnap as I loaded the roster with their e-mails and contact phone.

We will be updating the promotion flyer for the OE Showcase.

Again we are requesting all WieKings to gather injured or healthy, busy or bored.

See you most of you this Saturday for indoor and all of you next Sunday.
