Give, Go, Rotate (cont)

The practice plan went really well.  Having the reform your formation race after I call out a series of passes was a great way for the girls to learn this strategy.  After making good progress, we played 4 v 2 with 2 girls off the field.  When the side with 2 allowed a goal or got a goal kick, their other two players came on and the other team lost 2.  This gave them a chance to run their offense with minimal resistance.  In the end, we played 4 v 4.  It is looking good, but we still have a ways to go.  The more assertive players tend to be drawn to the ball still and if our back goes forward, we don't always get someone rotating back to cover.  They're learning to watch each other though, instead of staring at the ball.
