Proposed Practice Plan - Tuesday 10/14

Things to work on today:

Locking in on pull rights and pull left with little lift (go around—not through—to eliminate)

One-touch give and go passing

Improving our strong approach to goal with feet toward goal cage, quickest & strongest ball to goal cage (no back swing)

Improving pressure on goalkeeper

Improving focus and positioning on any Addy or Shannon free hit from 40yd line toward our attacking 1/3 (Salice positioned in front of goalkeeper instead of wings)

4-4:15 Dynamic

4:15-4:30 Review of Friday’s game

4:30-4:45 Elimination tires (3 or 4 tires)

Pull rights at game speed

Pull lefts with little lift at game speed

4:45-5 One touch give and go passing

Work in pairs
