Did you see the Moves in the Game

Parents,

Saturday was a tough indoor game being down 3 players, playing on the large field etc.  We were not our selves the first half  playing shy, but the second half was much better and played the other team even.

The best part of the game was that MANY (maybe all) the girls were attempting to use their S4 moves in the game and that was exciting.  Some worked, some failed miserably and it was awesome.  Haley setup and got around multiple girls. Nina did a scissors while flying down the middle of the field and she even tried a Mara dona step over.  It was crazy.

Remember what we have been told is that the girls will be introduced to many moves and then grab on to the 2 or 3 they really like and perfect them.  Encourage your daughter to use these moves on Monday.  I saw Emma, Claire, Kirsten and Faye attempt or set the defender up for a move which is great.

SIDE NOTE: If really watched the game you noticed our weaknesses; cleanly receiving a ball, understanding where to go with the ball (timing), winning 50/50 balls.  Those are all areas we will be focusing on this spring season.
