🔄 Game Day Scout Rotation

To maximize development, we will suit up our (16) 1st String and (2) Scout Team players for each game. 

• The Goal: To allow our Scout players to learn the pace of the game alongside our 1st String in a supportive environment.
• This Week’s Rotation:
  • 4/9 @ Mission Vista – Abigail Patterson & Stella Godknecht
  • 4/10 @ Santana – Karina Nielsen & Tabitha Hoy

🥍 Technical Corner: Skill of the Week

 

• Starters: Transitional Awareness – sprinting to the sidelines to stretch the defense and create clear passing lanes for the goalie. Prioritize ball movement over individual carrying.
• Scout Team: Focus on the 4 goals we discussed before break (wall-ball, cradling w/ switching hands, ground balls & sprints)

🎒 Reminders & Action Items

• Attendance: Please see Attendance Policy published in Band – mandatory
• Uniforms: All 18 players must wear Red Jerseys Thursday & Friday
• Carpool: Please chime in on the Carpool chat in Band if you need a ride or can give a ride to the Thursday game at Del Lago

🛑 The “24-Hour Rule” Reminder

A reminder that our coaching staff observes a 24-hour quiet period following every contest. This allows everyone time to reflect on the game before engaging in developmental discussions.
