Faster Passing And Moving Drills U10, U11, U12, U13, U15 Players

April 28, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Pass n Move

 

 

 

 

 

 

Faster Passing And Moving Drills U10, U11, U12, U13, U15 Players. One touch passing and

moving without the ball are so important in good winning soccer. Teaching the speed of the

game in drill situations is to be focused on, to make faster player reactions. Aggressive receiving

of the ball and moving toward the pass to keep opponents for taking away the ball is critical in building

solid possession soccer. As a rule, the team with them most time of possession wins the game.

Turning and moving with and without the ball is the drills purpose. Don’t hold the ball too long and don’t

stand flat-footed, always be on the balls for our feet moving to an open position to receive an open

passing lane. Move to space and be where your team-mate can see you or hear you communicating.

One touch play is so important to keep a defense from getting set up to defend your teams attack. Look

to set up your team-mates best chance to play a better angle. Look to learn how to lay off a pass to a player for a shot on goal.

Montreal Impact And Vancouver Whitecaps Start MLS 2013 undefeated.

O’ Canada, the MLS is changing power teams?  Not really, good start for these two upstart teams,

however two games into the regular season is way too early to say these two Canadian based teams

will compete for the MLS cup. Montreal starts off in the first 30 minutes with a nice bicycle shot n goal,

and with two goals in hand by the 60 minute mark, Portland could not seem to mount a real come back.

Vancouver Whitecaps also start off 2-0 undefeated in 2013, with a 2-1 victory over the Columbus Crew.

The Whitecaps put unbelievable pressure on all game. In the first five minutes Daigo Kobayashi hit a 30

yard strike for a long range goal to start off the match right. Kenny Miller finishes the game with a cool

strike to put it away. Hopefully these two teams can keep it up, we will see in late July when playoffs start our discussion. [Read more...]

Bayern Munchen, Dortmund, Juventus, Malaga, Saint-Germain, Schalke, and that old favorite

US Mens Soccer Team loses to Honduras 2-1 in a World Cup qualifying match Feb. 6th.

Clint Dempsey’s goal was not enough to carry the red, white, and blue of the US squad. This

Dempsey goal give him 31 total World Cup match play goals jumping above Brian McBride who

had 30 in his great career. Both offense and defense for the US squad looked a bit flat in Honduras.

The bicycle kick goal 4 minutes after the US scored really took the wind out of defense, as Honduras

seemed to play with more energy than the Yankees from the North. Next match, Costa Rica March

22nd at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colo.  See the highlights below.
