Film Session Tonight Canceled – Read below

Instead of the film session tonight, due the following on your own:

  1. Watch the first 1.5 minutes of the highlights below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7Tv5u_pXD0
  2. Look for how they are beating the opposition – dribbles? Passing it to the “right guy” or passing it to the “open guy”. Did you see Mbappe one timing it to their part time full back for the goal? The more we play as a team – the better we will be.
  3. Watch the Hudl video – do you see times we could have moved the ball quicker instead of dribble? Been more intentional about scoring? Also look for positioning, how is the rotation, could it have been faster? Did we provide cover when others joined the attack? Shoot me an email with your comments.

Also, JV practice for tomorrow is ON YOUR OWN. Here is what to do:

  1. Watch a soccer game and email coach carmona which one you watched (acarmona@wilsonareasd.org) and which positions you watched in particular.
  2. Go for a 1 mile run, track your time with an app, take a pic and send to coach carmona
  3. Ball and a wall for 20 minutes both feet working on touch.

Senior Parents/Guardians

I have forwarded an email from Mrs. Benevides to all players and parents regarding senior night posters from Christmas City Studios. If you are a parent/guardian of a senior, please check attached folder in the email (you may need to request viewing permission) and confirm the proofs look good to you. Thank you!

A deserved draw and looking ahead

FILM SUNDAY NIGHT AT 9:00 PM – VERY IMPORTANT EVERYONE IS THERE – Including all JV players. IF YOU CAN’T LET ME KNOW. We will use the google meet link.

We played some good soccer today and deserved at least a tie but some headaches remain (which will be discussed on film night) Great goal Braden – you pulled us from peril and you are a hero tonight and I toast you. Now, it remains to be said to every man who lunged for one more loose ball, ran to get back and cover and every quick pass and opportunity and hard tackle – you are heroes too and I see you. Anderson and Owen and Nolan and Ben – good minutes. Connor Noah and Kaarsen solid. Dillard was swarmed all night and still sent in some good balls and was tireless. Hetrick had a good chance and keerat and harnit did their usual good and steven was motor steven – But Braden again- chapeau!

BE AT THE GOOGLE MEET – it will determine who we are from here on out and where you will go this season.

Game Tomorrow

We want to play a highly energetic and smart match with Bangor tomorrow to remove that nasty taste in our mouth from Thursday. Varsity players be ready at the fields no later than 1:30. Lineup and plan to be posted later tonight in the classroom.

Team First

Varsity: Everyone on the roster below is expected to be there, with cleats, with shin guards, with pinnies.

Junior Varsity: Be there no later than 3:00 PM.

Blue and gold / blue uniforms ALL.

For some guys, this is their last chance to beat Bangor. Always bring your best but get a good nights sleep and be ready to give your all.

Transportation to and from Games

I mentioned this before but I must mention again – it is district policy that transportation to and from games is on the school bus. If – due to various circumstances that do arise – a parent is to transport a child either to or away from a game – you need to request permission in advance (typically it will be granted) from the principal (srattigan@wilsonareasd.org). Copy me to that email please so I have a record as well.
