Last week of fall soccer
To celebrate the end of the fall season and to recognize the efforts and skills of players
we have a selection of patches to give to players at the end of the session.
Blue/Yellow: each student will receive one to recognize their participation in the fall program.
Lightning Bolt: The bolt with three different parts represents defence, midfield and offence. This patch goes to a good all around player with good teamwork skills.
A: Player displaying good effort.
D: Player with strong defensive skills
Metallic Gold Star: The golden player, one who is always on time and helps out (without being asked).
Red Star: The player with the most heart (determination, courage, bravery).
Happy Face: The player who has a great attitude and makes the practice enjoyable for all.
You may want to think about who would be a worthy recipient of each patch prior to the last session.
Patches are in the equipment room.

Goaltending and Games
Warm up/Agility
Play a game of donkey tails
Half have pinnies as tales in shorts, other half try and get as many pinnies as possible or some variation of this.
Introduce ready position. You may want to have them play a Simon Says game where you introduce this skill.
In partners have players bowl ball to each other working on proper bowling, scooping and hugging the ball technique. You may want each pair to bowl it between an arch.
Bowling technique and scooping and locking the box
Some skills you may want to introduce to them and they can practice
High Kicks - Goalkeeping kick. This works well with parent and child.

Catching Grips
Fun Game:
Musical Balls/Coach says
In a 15x15 grid. Spread balls around. Coach says running around grid, shuffle, etc... when coach says ready position all players show appropriate ready position. When coach says ball, all players jump/dive on a ball, last person on a ball gives their ball to coach or just play with all balls....or anyone who doesn't get a ball does 5 jumping jacks, toe taps, catches etc... Throw in whatever fun commands you like.
Review:
Choose one or more of your favourite activities from the previous weeks.
How about ending session with a parents vs players game?
