Coach's Training Summary

21/04/2008

Maddi L, Caitlin F and Ksenya J were absent.

The coach was a little late due to some post-operative attention that took longer than expected.

Gentle warm-up running the thirds was followed by corner-to-corner long passing and running within a third.

A simple passing and shooting drill involving WA & C to GS and many fake shots was conducted for 15 minutes. Object was to get the shooter to make the most of taking possession of the area by stretching out from the goal post.

With only 20 minutes left in the session, a practice game was held against another team who loaned a player. A reasonable effort but some bad habits with poor passing returned on occasions. Ebony-Rose P had to leave early after suffering a nasty fall resulting in loss of skin on an elbow and bad bruising to the hip. Very unfortunate as she was training extremely well and we hope she recovers quickly.

Having a full team at training was short lived. It is very important that every player shows up, even if for only 15 minutes as it helps with both the team's and the player's confidence. Players attending did a good job.
