On Tuesday we arranged a special training.
The two Under 12 teams were going on a fun run with Coach Tad, while the Goalkeepers trained with Coach Kate from the Ohio University Club Soccer Team.
The group gathered at the benches. The field players have been told to bring flats and that we will change into soccer studs midway through the session.
This is how the two teams arrange when told to sit quietly on the benches...
To the left we have the Lady Tigers Under 12 Team. scattered in the top-middle we have the Barnett Stars Under 9 goalkeepers, and to the right of frame sits the Little Professionals Academy Under 12 Boys Team.
Now we are ready for some fun...we break into teams of two and arrange in a row on the grass. Coach Tad arranges a demonstration of the task he has set for the teams.
A mini-ball is given to the last runner in the row and the group has to accomplish the task of getting the mini-ball from the back of the line to the front and then to the back again without dropping the ball and while running.
They are told that there is some "penalty" in store for the team that drops it. Who knows what we will come up with if that happens...

As we get back to the grass, Coach Kate has the goalkeepers moving
Later Coach Kate retrieves Braidan's water bottle from the tree; then everybody is happy.
We will return to standard training for Thursday of this week and Tuesday of next week, and NEXT THURSDAY we will have GOALKEEPER TRAINING #2.

They hit the ground to dress as a team: Tigers in Orange and Professionals in Green. The Academy goalkeepers have gone to train with Coach Kate.
Now we are ready for some fun...we break into teams of two and arrange in a row on the grass. Coach Tad arranges a demonstration of the task he has set for the teams.
In the background it looks like Kate has the Goalkeeper's attention...well done Coach Kate!
