Game day notes

• Uniforms:  We’ll wear yellow and use practice vests to distinguish teams. This allows us to easily switch players around if needed to keep competitive balance.
• Game format:  We’ll play 5-aside including goalkeepers.
  • About goalkeepers (goalies):  We’ll rotate everyone through the goalkeeper position this spring (link:  goalkeeper training). We want our goalkeepers to be soccer players, not statues. Goalies can use their hands in the penalty area. But we’ll ask them to step out of their penalty area when their team is on attack, and be willing to use their feet when they are outside their area, just like the other soccer players. (We don’t want a goalie standing back in her goal as if she’s in a cage.)
• Weekly quiz:  We post a quiz each week below the team assignments. Scroll past the roster table for quiz details.

Team assignments and schedules

• Warm-up captains:  Girls whose names are in italic print with a (C) indicator are warm-up captains. They are responsible for gathering their teammates and helping the coach start pre-game warm-up. Link:  warm-up ideas
• “DH” girls:  We have some girls scheduled to play twice. (We call this double-header or “DH” play.) The double-header girls have an indicator next to their names:  a (1) for their first game, and a (2) for their second game.

Weekly quiz – dribbling turns and their stop-and-go sister moves

Girls can win a treat after our Wednesday or Thursday practice if they can answer the following questions about dribbling turns and their stop and go sister moves, and also demonstrate the moves. (A “sister” move starts out looking just like another move, but it has a different ending.)

2. Which stop-and-go move is the pullback’s sister?
   1. Cookie
