Spring Skills Clinic [March 31st]
Parents and Friends,
Thanks to all the families that attended our recent skills clinic!
I always like to hear feedback… especially from the kids.
One child said “everybody tried really hard”. They put in a shift!
Another comment was “it was fun, and I got a lot of touches in”.
That’s interesting because as we all know kids get bored very quickly.
They certainly don’t want to stand behind a cone waiting for a ball.
Unfortunately, kids are often in an environment where they are NOT getting touches.
There are too many stoppages, they are stuck in lines, listening to lectures or playing in mass scrimmages where they rarely have the ball at their feet.
These elements tend to creep in when the emphasis is on team tactics and preparing for upcoming games and tournaments.
When that happens technical training and individual development take a backseat.
Kids will enjoy the game if they are given a solid technical base and are learning new...
