Wet and windy weather for a few days and looked terrible for training but we only had a very light shower for a couple of minutes while we trained.
Practised handball and kicking and then moved into some competive drills i.e. one on one marking and one on one just generally competing for the ball. It was great to have six parents who could help out with these competitive drills. The players were a bit timid at first with competing against one another for marks but gradually got better and better.
We finished training off with a scratch match – no playing in positions and everyone chasing after the football. I don’t want to single out any players because I thought everyone trained well.
I spoke to the team (players + parents) about our team competing in a Auskick carnival on Friday night, under lights. Everyone seemed pretty keen. We may not be able to play because there are already enough teams registered, we need to rely on a team pulling out.
