June 2nd, Post Match
The match itself was a wash-out as it was canceled only 2 minutes in due to lightning. At least we got some practice going, although under not very pleasant conditions and many players being late.
It is crucial that the players practice those skills: hard shots with the laces part of the shoes and accurate shots with side of the foot, with both the strong and the weak foot, and never using toes.
The players also got their health check from the referee :-)
Players have a juggling challenge to practice as well. They all can succeed at it if they practice every day (if they have time!). It helps if they practice facing a wall to stop run away balls. It also helps to deflate the ball a little and use regular sports shoes. The players were show how to progress with this exercise.
Parents may wish to wipe clean the inside and outside of their soccer cleats. This exercise we did yesterday is an eye-opener for the kids on how to strike a ball.
