Flames Spring 2010
2010 Boys Flames Season Outline and Homework
Provided is an outline for our spring season. Each practice has a theme, which serves as the main focus for all activities of the week. While players learn and execute these skills, certain points will be emphasised to serve as takeaways. All players are expected to conclude practice with an understanding of those takeaways. With only 3 hours a week dedicated to practices, players also have the opportunity to do their soccer “homework” which includes activities that can be performed outside of practices to improve in both soccer ability and athleticism. The hopes of this [fairly] lengthy outline is to have everyone on the team (coaches, players, and parents) on the same page with the same goals.
