Remembering the Sun: Boys Under 12 Training 1

High wind, bright sun, and wet ground,

all describe the conditions on the Tuesday we had our first outside training for the Under 12 Boys team.

We start out with a team run.

The boys didn't forget how to run.

Then we talk about the expectations for this team,

while an eighth player arrives.

The Team escapes the sun and the wind;

the boys wait in the shade while coach sets up a perimeter.

We are going to play Coast-to-Coast.

Combination Play

In How To Soccer: Combination Play we see Athens Soccer Academy-- facebook.com/athenssocceracademy-- players perform a quick passing combination splitting the defenders and opening a lane to goal. 

Key items to notice that make this combination successful. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1) Notice the support player opening his hips to the player with the ball.

2) Notice the support player use one-touch to return the ball.

3) Notice the return pass is into the running lane of the attacker.

4) Notice the tempo of the play.
