Practice of the week

One of our resolutions for the new season: make warmups more fun. Starting with trying out this one

Bobby Puppione @bobbypup

Fun little #rondo on a lighter day of training on match day +1. Must hold hands, 1 touch passing, and two defenders must hold hands and win the ball. @TSJ_FCVirginia #FCV #GirlsDA

And guess what - even PSG do it

Question of the week

How are your pre-match team talks and how could you improve them? Here is a nice short list of points to think about, before the first game of the new season.

Topic of the week

Another topic we want to work on for our team this season is effort / drive / doing your best for the team. At a professional level, effort should really be a given

Not quite so simple at a grassroots, mixed-ability level… But we will blend this theme into our next training sessions - and encourage our players to practice, practice and practice.

I hope this was useful. Have a great week!
