We have 45 guys rostered with us which is awesome. We have 45 guys rostered with us which presents some challenges such as keeping everyone engaged, learning, and focused. As a coach I am adjusting to the numbers – sometimes successfully – sometimes less so. Everyday I ask the boys to think of ways they can be better and faster and smarter. I want to do the same and model it. Tomorrow we will practice differently:

1. Warm-ups with Captains – together or on your own. Captains will report to me who is missing or late

Capitao Benevides: Parada, Harnit, Steven, Tyam, Yasser, Juan

Capo Millen: Noah Quick, Jeremiah Bermudiaz, Jayden, Nolan Browne, Caswell, Owen Smith

Capitaine Jones: Yahriel, Big Luke, Andrew, Anderson, Gaudet, Lutz, Brycen

Dulzshang Taube: Walsh, Rashad, Adam, Cromwell, Naseem, Justin Balseca, Jose

Kaptan Hetrick: Keerat, Kaarsen, Alex, Jeremiah G, Danishek, Kareem

2. Separate into technical drills with squads below. Bring the required pinnie – if I did not get you one today, I will tomorrow,

Coach Ale will Host Gold Tomorrow. Wear gold pinnies:

Braden, Steve, Harnit, Keerat, Ben , Jeremiah B, Noah, Nolan B., Jayden, Yahriel, Parada, Tyam, Big Luke, Hetrick, Smith, Anderson, Dillard, James Gaudet, Yasser (get a gold from me tomorrow), Kaarsen, Walsh

Coach Carmona will Host Blue Tomorrow. Wear blue pinnies:

James D, Alex K (captain), Naseem, Kareem, Cromwell, Jeremiah G, Brycen, Jose, Caswell, Rashad, Adam

3. The focus will be on teamwork, quality and ball skills, PASSION, and later positioning.

Goalies will spend time with Coach Ale during warm-ups, work on goal kicks and cross catching and later get integrated into drills.
