From Coach Fischer

Proposed practice plan Mon 10/20 (both teams on softball turf)

We may not get to all of this

4-4:15 dynamic warmup

4:15-4:30 Varsity Follow your pass tires w/shot on goal (if JV does not want do this, they can do their daily dozens)

Part 1 - 4:30-4:50 Defenders at goal cage playing hard hits off goalkeeper pads… keep feet moving… strong carry out of circle… strong clears… no reverse stick

Part 2 - 4:30-4:50 mids and forwards … Going right

Mids & Forwards carry from left side of turf to right

Step one straight carry (forwards line and midfielder liner do this simultaneously)… ball is rolled to the ball carrier who lets the ball travel to right foot and then goes right game speed

Step two 3 lines of forwards and 3 lines of mids (set out cones to mark where each line should be)… players will bump cones after their turn

Line one mid/forward receives ball and lets it travel to right foot… then immediately carries right five yards and push pass to the next line mid/forward who lets ball travel to right foot… then immediately goes right five years and passes to remaining line mid/forward who lets ball travel to right foot and carries ball to cone 5 yards a way and leaves ball there…. Then runs to end of line at cone 1

4:50-5:05 Going Right

Step three JV mids/defenders vs varsity mids/forwards who are trying to score. The ball always starts on the left mid. The ball can go forward when there is an opening, otherwise it goes right until there is an opening

(JV forwards work on deflections against fence… can Maddy hit the ball?)

5:05-5:20 Going Right

Step three… but this time with varsity mids/defenders vs jv mids/forwards

(Varsity forwards work on deflections against fence… can Maddy hit the ball?)

5:30-5:45… Hard hits by right mid at 30yd line (after 8min switch to left side)

Forwards and mids rotate into positions

3 defenders and goalkeeper

Focus on mids adding stick to incoming ball and mids staying on edge of circle for a pass to open space or to send a ball back to goal with power push or Leow flick

5:45-5:55 JV can clean up and stretch… Varsity quick reviews stopping strong left side player #3 from SHS (carries ball and hits from left side of body)…. Channel… poke… double… steal…. Role of Nicole and Anita… role of center forward (point) and right forward
