Tomorrow's TIMES, Practice tonight, Video supporting our practice focus for tonight.

Parents/Girls,

A slight change in our practice time.  I only have wiefit available from 11:45-1:00 tomorrow.  It’s booked until 5 outside of that time slot.  I hope that can work for everyone.  I also am going to look at having our outdoor practice Thursday nights at Tower Park instead of Friday nights—I will look into field availability and let you know.

Sat 1/17:  9:30 WieHammer vs WieKings  (guest player Olivia McQuery will split halves in goal for each team, allowing goalies to get some field time!).  We also have Maria and Isabella out (ice that ankle Isabella!—and win the gold at your dive meet Maria!), so not which team they play for, but we may or may not need to move girls around if one of the teams are short players.

Sat 1/17: 11:45-1:00 WieFit Skill Training


As for practice notes tonight, I think we had a really good practice focusing on some tactical and technical work!  We worked on....
1.   Making Lateral runs vs vertical runs, and WHY and when lateral runs are useful (see video of example of great lateral/sideways/diagonal runs). –USED for creating more space, harder to defend as puts defender chasing your backside, takes defender away from wherever you might have played the ball)…
       2.   Playing direct when necessary (playing long ball to target up top or forward).
       3.  Being able to one touch ball out of the air to a teammate making a well timed run (lots of technique taught using chest pass to one side or other). 

          Well done all!  See you all for our 9:30 game and then at 11:45 at WieFit.

Thanks,

Brian
