For fun, and congrats to Cody

I just want to say good job to Cody, who won the juggling contest Tuesday... I can see a few of you have been working on it! This video is for fun, it follows Cristiano Ronaldo (who is from Portugal) on and off field. It shows him juggling a few times, and even how he uses his juggling abilities in games. Keep practicing your juggling, we'll have another contest Tuesday. Make sure you also check out the other two posts from today, they have info important for the game tomorrow.

Read before the game tomorrow

This is the same diagram posted before, but please take a minute to click on in and go over the soccer positions we discussed. It will be important to stay in the positions we put you in, during the game. Remember, fullbacks are defenders, and it is very important for them to stay between the ball and the goal. If you are a fullback, and take off with the midfielders and forwards, the other team will have an easy time scoring on us! This happened a couple times at practice.
Forwards and midfielders, stay on your assigned side. If you are a left forward, stay on the left side, so the right and center have someone to pass it to if they get in trouble.
Last, I just want to say- I was very impressed at practice Tuesday. A couple kids who were quite timid during the first game, really hustled and were aggressive at practice! Let's see some of that tomorrow!
Go Yellow Jackets!

Real Salt Lake- Shooting

These are some good tips on shooting the ball. Let's all work on this so we can get some goals tomorrow! One thing I noticed he said is accuracy is more important that power... So make sure your non-kicking foot is aimed at the goal. After you watch this, get out and practice it!
