Great action this weekend! I am starting to see less 1v1 and more passing, but we have a long way to go and it will be fun seeing the development..."EYES UP", is a constant from the coaching sidelines.
My most important "Coaching Takeaways" after reflecting on yesterday's games:
1- Set up your cuts by pushing into and popping away from your defender
2- Keeping your body between your stick and the defender when cutting or asking for the ball
3- Staying within 1 stick's length from who you are guarding at all times while keeping track of cutting and dodging threats nearby
4- Continuing to stay mentally focused and anticipating when without the ball on offense
There are three teams with players out on the 21st, but I have the subs covered. We will play with 7 field players and no additions other than the goalie sub.
With Coach Molly in the goal yesterday for Team 1, they edged out Team 6 in the last few seconds of game 2. I am a BIG fan of the effort and enthusiasm by Team 1 as they mounted their comeback, but in fairness I am flipping the score and giving the win to Team 6 who didn't have a former D1 College goalie in the net...and she only got hit in the face 1 time.
