Yesterday and the day before I ran the soccer clinics. The first day we did passing. It started in a circle with about 5 girls and 5 circles and passing the ball around. Then we did a keep away drill and one girl would go into the middle of the circle and the rest of the girls would try to kick it around her. If the girl in the middle got it then the person who passed it to her would go in the middle. This kept everyone busy until we practiced heading the ball. The girls really liked that and caught on very quickly. At the end we did this cheer to pump them all up!
Yesterday we worked on dribbling the ball. We started off by making four lines (two lines per group). There were about 7 girls in each line. They would dribble to the other girl opposite them. Then into some relay races dribbling to the cone turning around then dribbling back. Then we lined up and did some heading and more passing. Finished again with a team cheer.
Today I plan to do shooting then letting them play actual games. We will be handling out jerseys and cleats to the players for the games. The soccer balls that we are leaving at this Center will be handed out as well.
