Fall Season on the Way!


Get ready for the Fall Soccer Season! 

In spring we started an experiment in our local soccer league based around three general goals:

  1. Start with a solid defense
  2. Build possession from the defense forward.
  3. Maintain possession and create space with passing.

The experiment was a success-- we played well-- especially in our second to last week.  Ultimately we won three games (one against each opponent), tied one, and lost two.   But the key is that our wins came from the style of team play that we were working on.  It was great to see a more possession and control oriented style work.  Anyways, hopefully we can continue the project this fall and build in even better control and skill.

Who is up for a practicing some "rondo"?   Perhaps this coming weekend?


Watch this video-- no goals--  just great plays by #21 for Liverpool-- who plays a defensive midfield position.  Breaks up opponents plays and builds plays from the back.
