Congratulations you survived your first day of school and now get to play in your first scrimmage of the season on the Turf at Gateway. Due to first day challenges we have one more challenge- a limited roster. We all need to be 60 minute warriors today and find ways to conserve energy, play the game off the field and let the ball do the work.
Plan is a 4-3-3
Conserve energy- let the ball do the work.
PICK OUR MOMENTS TO COUNTER ATTACK.
SLOW DOWN THE GAME BY FINDING OPEN PLAYERS/SPACE.
DEFENDING
Protect our goal, keep it compact, get behind the ball quickly.
Defend corner kicks with all 11 players.
Mia take the lead on taking goal kicks.
ATTACKING
Get Open, play to space on offense.
Take shots, don’t wait for the -perfect shot-
Take inswinging corner kicks.
Don’t wait for permission on restarts, always try a short quick restart if it’s there.
