A great training session this afternoon working on a new team shape for 9 a side & also the basics of the offside rule.
I had feared this session would be a car crash, but no - I underestimated the lads again and they were soon making clever runs to beat the offside trap, playing through balls (at last) and keeping a high line. Thank goodness for FIFA 14 I say!
It's a shame the whole squad were not there as planned (last minute nose bleed!) as it would have been even better to have everyone learning at the same pace, but a big plus was our trial lad Callum, who is starting to come out of his shell & show he is a decent player with some lovely passing.
Nicely set up for the tournament at the weekend now, it will be interesting to see them play 9 a side and to see if they can cope with the offside rule after only an hour coaching.
Good luck lads!
