Great Win - 7-3

Hey girls,
That was a great start to indoor.  Seeing you girls playing the possession soccer, passing to feet 80-90% of the time vs last year when it ran around 50% or less just proves how much you have advanced in a year.   Everyone was looking to play to feet and there was good movement about like
we were doing in out door.  Also there were several people trying their S4 moves to get out of tight situations or to breakthrough.  The only things that were off was finishing and a couple slips on defense where man marking broke down right in front of the goal.

So here is what we can work on in indoor.  Indoor is a very different game that you really work on passing and foot skills.  You do this with a very different work rate.  Outdoor you pace yourself to make 80 minutes.  Indoor you pace yourself to make 4-8 minutes.  Thus it is much more sprinting.  That means if you are a left mid you do not stay at left mid, you could easily be the right back or the right striker, in the same minute.  It should look a lot more like basketball with movement all over.  When you start making coordinated runs with say your right mid to change positions you introduce openings that you or others can utilize.  We were way to static yesterday in our own spots.  Much more interchanging using passing to feet.   So the name of the games is you give it your all like the 2nd overtime in the state cup then you come off for 5 and back on.  This applies also for defenders.

Again this should not be mass confusion it should be accompanied with lots of talk to with you team mate you want to switch places with.

Anyway our goals for indoor to continue to take our possession passing to the next level with great movement, improve the speed and quickness of feet with S4 moves and have tons of fun doing it.

Don't forget today US Women's Team play's Brazil at 3:30, watch Marta for some incredible moves.
