What's up this week?
This week our focus skill is settling. This is a super important skill for all soccer players to know because it could mean winning or losing the game. What is settling? Settling is a skill that is usually used during 50/50 balls when the ball is kicked super high in the air and it could land near anyone. When 50/50 balls happen, a player should run to where the ball will land and within about two touches get the ball under control. If they don't get the ball under control, it could end up bouncing off the player to an opponent. It is also important to settle the ball in about two or three touches. This is because if you take too long to get the ball under control, there will probably be a player on the other team coming at you to steal the ball. What are the competition rules/setup this week? This week's competition will be set up to where we each get ten tries to settle the ball with two touches. The person who isn't settling will be the one to throw the ball to the person settling. If the person settling does this correctly and within two touches, they get a point. The goal is to see how many you can do correctly out of ten. If there is a bad throw, you get a redo. Just like last week, the winner will get a medal for competition two and will get to have a photo shoot with their medal and the cool sunglasses. What's the plan next week? We hope you have enjoyed watching the videos so far and keeping up with who's in the lead. Next week we plan to work on another skill: headers. Watch this week's video to find out who wins!
