We recommend the girls watch part (or more) of these games to see what women’s soccer looks like at the highest levels. (These four teams are all ranked in the world’s top 5 at this point in time. )
- Watch how players with the ball twist, turn and switch feet to keep the ball.
- Watch how players who receive passes keep the ball moving, taking their first touch into open space, away from the nearest defender.
- Watch how teammates move to help the player with the ball. Do they crowd the player, or do they setup in open space 10-15 steps away?
