Here is the lineup:

We are rewarding some guys who watched video (practice Wednesday) and have been working hard to earn minutes. For the second half – we will roll out a line-up we hope to be in for Monday and our district run. Players arriving after 8:20 unfortunately cannot play but please support the team.

If you have not YET watched the video and provided your reflection to me, please do so for the team. We need you!

Tactics:

1. Do not hold on to the ball long – let the ball do the work and let’s move it quickly and NOT give them time to react.

2. Be VERY strong in the air. You must work to WIN every aerial ball… and pressure the ball when the opportunity rises.

3. Work triangles throughout BUT be careful in the back (Sometimes we just have to clear it) and in the attacking end, look to slide that ball into Dillard and let him run onto it. LIMIT the number of hopeful balls we play in – remember – a turnover to the goalie is still a turnover.

4. No finger pointing. Positive Positive Positive. That starts with the line-up. Read this and support who’s names you see and then warm-up well and when your time comes – SHINE for the team

5. Think about your positioning and your marks and how you can support each other. If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
