The day of testing arrived. Did our new offense yield results? I must admit, the overall result was positive, but there is still a long way to go. The girls were excited. All the girls had found their jerseys and skorts (except for one which required an emergency re-order) and the player whose cleats were always coming untied had even gotten new laces. They all wanted to play. I wish I could've started them all, but I had to choose only 6 to start, but the rest got in quickly (though the others didn't want to leave the pitch).
I didn't see a lot of "gives" followed by "goes". I certainly didn't see much rotation. However, I did see significantly better spacing and positioning. We had some technical issues with receiving the ball, but we can work on these skills. I could go on, but I'll leave it at this. As the game went on, we got stronger and stronger. Our pressure on the other team built up over the whole game. Though the scoring came slowly at first, the pace increased as the game went on. I love a strong finish and that's what we got. The girls had a blast and the coaches were very happy.
