Hello Gryphons!

Just because the fields are closed in games are canceled today doesn't mean we can't challenge your players this weekend. Challenge all of your players to at least get 100 touches on the ball this weekend. Whether that means they do toe touches or tick tocks while they watch cartoons or whether that means the ball is at their foot while they play video games. (See video snipets below)

If you challenge your Gryohon to work towards that 100 touches, capture it and send to the Directors or post to social media using #GASLRainDayTrainDay

Ideas:

  • Dribble ball around house.   Coach Note: Control is by keeping ball close and stopping ball with the bottom of your foot.
  • Ball mastery while you watch TV, read or play video games.   Coach Note: roll ball with foot, heel to toe and side to side. Let their foot memorize the ball.
  • Juggle outside.   Coach Note: there's no lightning so get outside in juggle see how many juggles they can get in a row and then challenge them to do one more. Keep it under control - no big kicks.
  • Learn a soccer move.   Coach Note: You Tube "learn cool soccer moves" and practice one. Slow it down to watch technique.

Be patient with your cooped-up Gryphon.  Be encouraging and complimentary.  You will see them glow when theyve accomplished something.

Encourage the Will, Complement the Skill!

Have fun and be safe this weekend! Hopefully we'll see you next week on the pitch.
