Some info from the Early Bird

The Victory Express team (we played first), won the tournament and only gave up one goal -- to us!!

The Foundations team (we played second), beat us 2-1, and lost to ROSA 3-0.

I believe that we out-played Foundations, and just didn't get the result.

What I took away from the weekend:

  1)  We are doing very well attacking 1v1.
  2)  We are doing pretty well defending 1v1, but we are still pretty impatient (stabby).
  3)  We are pretty comfortable playing in "our normal positions", but we struggle when we're put in different positions.
  4)  Our communication was very poor in the first match, but improved steadily and was pretty decent on Sunday.
  5)  We are still trying to play into and through pressure  --  we need to continue to work on playing away from pressure and into space.
  6)  On Saturday, we did not connect our play -- (2v2 and 3v3) on offense or defense.  On Sunday, we started to connect on offense.
  7)  We (I) forgot to do something very important all weekend!!  (Next training -- Which players can tell me what we forgot?)
  8)  Our team discipline / awareness / attentiveness was very good all weekend!!

Going forward:

  1)  We will continue to work on our 1v1 skills every training, and increase our focus on 1v1 defending.
  2)  We will continue to work on playing away from pressure and decision making.
  3)  We are going to increase ou focus on connecting play -- 2v2 & 3v3  offensive & defensive.
  4)  As we go into the MOSSL season, we will continue to work on playing all positions.

Overall, I was very pleased with our peformance this weekend, and look forward to a really good season!!
