U10 practice/games week of June 18 & 20

U10 boys - Tuesday - mixed scrimmages.  Have each team give 3 players to a 4th team (team pinnie)- someone will need to coach this team Jeff Wilson/Guy?.  Then play three sets of 15-20 minute games, depending on organization time.  Someone (a parent? or coach?) will need to be the time keeper.
Field 1 - Pinnies vrs Orange                     Field 2- Green vrs Red
Field 1 - Pinnies vrs Red                          Field 2- Green vrs Orange
Field 1 - Pinnies vrs Green                       Field 2- Red vrs Orange

U10 girls - Thursday mixed scrimmages.  Let's do what we did at the end of practice on Thursday, each team gives up 2-3 players to make a fourth pinnie team...Natalie can you organize this again and be the time keeper please.  If one set of teams is smaller push the goals to the tops of the boxes again. Play three 15-20 minute games.  Schedule below or whatever you decide.
Field 1- Pinnies vrs Gold                        Field 2 - Purple vrs Green
Field 1- Pinnies vrs Green                       Field 2 - Purple vrs Gold
Field 1- Pinnies vrs Purple                      Field 2 - Gold vrs Green

Practice Plan for Team 1 (girls Tuesday, boys Thursday)
Don't forget to play both your scrimmages, one after the warm up and one at the end.  This is very important, the kids want to play the game so ensure you provide the opportunity.  Only let the first scrimmage last 10 minutes.  Try and switch your drills quickly, really you should never spend more than 10 minutes at this age on a drill.  And have fun, because if you are having fun so are the players!

Warm up- try this version of Pac Man
