Rapids 06 Girls Select
How important are throw in's? We have not worked on them (need too). We need more depth in this situation and the two center backs need to be farther apart. Body shape is keyd. Good job by our 6 to find the space between the two forwards to allow us to break a line and play out. Good awareness from our GK to read the defensive play and find her outlets. We always discuss having three to four outlets. Players must move off the ball to find the spaces.We go over a lot of pattern play out of the back to cover a lot of differnt situations!

Quick distribution by the GK and keeping her space to play out of the back. Our Outside RB with good movement and communication.
Rapids 06G Gk with a high line
Our Gk playing a high line to cover 2/3 of the space behind the two center backs. Good first touch and doesn't panic under pressure. She knows where her passing options are!

Slipping the ball in by our number 23 (#8) quick counter from Real Co then back to possession and moving the ball again from left to right while breaking the lines while we maintain shape.Nice sequence of playing in tight spaces while maintain possession (Rondo). I have not worked on the final 1/3 with these girls so the crosses will be fixed! Runs in the box will be fixed! Good space, good depth and good width!

Showing off skill from our #23 who's our 8 ( will work on finishing), then most proud of the stepping to pressure from #44 and her ability to read the game and take the LCB spot to cover on the back line! We go over this a lot in training.

10 Pass sequence from left to right, check the spacing and movment off the ball. I would have liked 34 to pass to 44 at the 17 second mark. I have to repspect her decision to play back and review the video with her then fix this in training!

Here is the complete movement on Maddie #44
More details on playing out of the back from a punt! CB's facing their own goal! I'm very excited for my attacking left forward movements in this video. Maddie #44 droops back into space after our left back moves forward. Maddie then drops central to support the LCB after she goes forward, she reads the game well! Now I'd love for her to attack and get forward on the left side and get numbers up but in this situation it was her decision on the movements!

More possession from our 06's Rapids. Moving the ball between the lines! Again only two months of training and we still have a lot to learn!

I've decided to coach a 2006's Girls Select team at the Rapids. I scouted these girls at a tournament to watch their style of play and it was only kick and run! Our GK didn't even take her own goal kicks! I've been working with them for two months, two days a week for two hour sessions. Here is a snap shot of us playing possession. I will not go into details.
