Dec.11 Practice

After two weeks of Super8 games it was time for some practice for the LISA u10G's and though we where missing a few players we welcomed LakeHill's 'keeper in training': Michaela to our practice. She spent most of the time with LISA Keeper Coach Bob S but joined in for the last bit of our training! Welcome Michaela! Photo..

The two Super8 games had shown that when we make use of the space and pass we can compensate for the size difference between u10 and u11 ! What Coach Dave wanted to also work on was how we make our passes focusing on knowing how to receive and how to hand off a clean pass. A big part of the Sunday practice consisted of putting 5 passes in a row while facing pressure from the 4 yellow pinnie players. Everyone worked hard and Coach Dave was pleased with the results - well done to all the players!

Below a few snapshots taken from the practice!
