Jr. High: 23 Aug 23 Picture Day, Futsal Training.

Hey team, Yesterday was a lesson in winning and learning. Between the weather, headcount, small field, officials, and an injury we learned a lot. Here are my takeaways from the scrimmage.

Dreaming, just dreaming of a football culture…

JR High: Defending 1v1 don’t dive in.

This one is a simple review of the one v one defending piece from today. I’ve had years of shuffling feet, squaring up shoulders and forcing forwards away from their dominant foot.
