Ah, practice practice practice. Of course, only 5 of the litte buggers came to practice last night.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't get him to kick the soccer ball.

The rascals were quite wound up, so they spent half the practice running wind-sprints and jogging around the field. Nothing like a little excercise to sharpen the quiescent thirst for knowledge! Seriously, these kids are out of shape. Last year's bunch could play three quarters and just be winded. Our goalie wore out in just one quarter out of the box!

So the new regimen will be:

Windsprints
Ball drills
Windsprints
Technique
Strategy
Small soccer game.

Hope it works!
