today's attendance started off with 14, then ballooned to 22 after classes ended at 6. we started off with pressure drills. everyone got into pairs. then the couples would go into a marked out area. usually 2 or 3 couples at a time. the others would stand around the area. these others would hold a ball. so the couples begin, one would ask for a ball and play it back, while the other would try to win it. we did a few reps of this. then it changed to volley the ball back. then it changed to control on thigh and pass back. then it changed to chest the ball back. then it changed to head the ball back (but this time, the headerer is behind his partner). then it changed to catch the ball in the air at the highest point possible.
pointer - when controlling a high ball (on the thigh or on the chest, wherever), don't pop it up. it would take even more time for you to finally get in under control on the ground. control the ball to your feet as quickly as possible. unless of course you're chengwei and your doing a trick.
next drill was possesion. same couples, but this time each would take turns to keep possession of the ball. can use the outside players as neutrals. then this changed into 2v2 or 3v3, 2-touch.
after that we played 2 sides. shirts vs bibs. bibs won 2-1, but can i just say, from an extremely biased point of view, that the shirts totally owned the bibs. end of training.

Training on Friday 22 August 2008
today had about 20+ players in attendance.
started off with a simple 3 man crossing drill:
-----goal post-------
----A---------B
---------C
C pass to B, pass back to C, who sends it towards the byline near the edge of the penalty box, for A to run onto and drive a cross for B and C to finish.
Then we moved into another crossing drill. simpler one this time. crossing coming from left and right flanks. ball starts with the flanker. he pushes it towards the byline and crosses for two players running into the box, as well as the opposite flanker coming in from the far side. emphasis is on low and hard crosses.
then we played 6-a-side football, whole field. fitness training. some conditions were: five passes in own half, two touch in own half, no dead ball, no pass back to own half.
finally we did 30 push up, 50 sit up/crunches. end of training.

Training on Monday 18 August 2008
today's attendance was abt 33 ppl, including i think 7 keepers.
started off with primary school recess football - half field one touch, put the ball on the touchline. then we played a couple half field two-sided games. first was abt 8v8. then it became 4v4/5v5. while you're not playing, you're either neutral, or running one lap around the whole pitch. then it started raining like nobody's business. so training ended a little earlier. end of training.

so coach had to concentrate more on the trials today. uncle sam took us for 5 x ladder ladder shuffle shuffle head head roll roll circuit again after the obligatory 2 rounds warm up. after that we played 2 side, but only on one half. put the ball on the touchline. 3 teams, so rotate. after you come out run one round. we did about 5-6 reps each. then we went off for a bit of a shuttle run competition which was pretty fun i'd admit. end of training.
