U12-U14 Week 7
“I'm lucky to be part of a team who help to make me look good, and they deserve as much of the credit for my success as I do for the hard work we have all put in on the training ground.” - Lionel Messi
Game Observation (Due by May 10th)
BPlease choose one of the two matches below. Once you are done watching the game, jump to the Game Observation page and complete a form with your observations from the game. (HINT: As with other observation challenges you might want to jump to the form first, and take a peak at the question so you know what you are looking for during the game). Your coaches will be scheduling time to discuss these games with you during the coming weeks along with your responses. As we mentioned on the page, there are no right or wrong answers. The idea is to have some fun watching some great soccer while helping you increase your soccer IQ through observation. Don’t wait until Mother’s Day!!
Online Training Form
After each round of training please submit your workout using the form below. There is no cap on the number of workouts per week. You should be doing three at a minimum but the more the better.
