Luke is Home and Ok, Sat - Montview 9:20am
Good news, Luke's attack of Appendicitis pain subsidied and the Doctor thinks it was viral not his Appendix.
We will see how he goes tomorrow - but looks like he'll be right to play.
Tonight's training was good. I got the boys to warm up, then play a game 3x3 in a very small space swapping goalies. They had lots of fun, got to do lots of throw in's and learn that space and accuracy counts. Then they got to play on the full field 3x3 with my enforced focus on running with the ball. It took a while and alot of rubbing in - but I think they got it. Then the 7B team had no coach so we had a got set of full teams and of course in 15 minutes we won 3 nil. I even got to train the 7B teams - and they learnt!
Saturday's game is against Corpus Christi Hawks 6A at 9:20am. I've just checked their past results and I think the best thing for this game is to put the boys in positions that they are least proficient at (if you understand what I'm saying).
Something I've forgotten to do is thank Conrad, Micheal J and Christian's dad for the referering they have done during the seasion! Thank You guys! It's a great help to me and the team. Also big thanks to Michelle and Kylie for managing everything!
Just want to finish off by saying that my goal is to make sure the kids have fun and want to come back next year! Teamwork and skills is a side product - and as they get older it all comes together.
I certainly do feel like the luckiest coach ever to be coaching all of your sons! they are each in their own FANTASTIC!
