NTH alumni Campbell and Sonnett on the team
NTH Academy alumni Jane Campbell and Emily Sonnett (upper right photo) made the roster for the 2018 SheBelieves Cup. As youth players, both were self-starters, determined and hard-working. We congratulate them for making it to the top level!
Viewing tips
We encourage the girls (parents too!) to watch part of each game to see what high level soccer looks like. Many young kids get bored watching sports — they would rather play! — but they are more likely to watch a game if they have specific viewing goals. Things to look for:
- Do players keep the ball moving while they play, or do they stop the ball and look around?
- Do players get their heads up and turn away from defenders, or do they play with heads down and dribble into defenders?
- Do players keep the ball either by dribbling or passing, or do they kick the ball and chase it?
- When the USA is attacking, do the backs stay back near their own goal, or do they move forward to help the attack? How far forward?
