We played a hard fought game today against a Stafford team with some speed and athleticism. We experienced some lulls, which they capitalized on for goals. However, we were able to work the ball and display some good finishing of our own in the second half. In the first half, I think we crowded the ball and the ball handler a bit too much. We got sucked out of positions and as one player on the sideline noticed, it looked like a "beehive". Good observations! In the second half, the game opened up a bit more so we had more space to play and get more meaningful combinations together. We worked on various moves and understanding when and when not to pass the ball when in possession. We showed glimpses of understanding, and I encourage the kids to think about what we worked on during practice and evaluate the team/individual game performance in terms of how successful we were in applying practice skills and concepts.
