[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter was just told during our last practice that the coach would like her to move to the 06 team that's making a strong league and tournament run in the spring.  She's excited, scared, and riddled with questions, as a parent I want to support her and therefore poking around here to see what your suggestions would be such as videos, links to sites, etc.  Just to reduce the amount of questions, the 06 and 07 age group has 3 teams each and she's currently on the 1st team of the 07s.  Physically she can easily blend with the 06s since some of them played together at u9 prior to the age group change.  I'm more concerned about change in game play with the larger field and the additional 4 players.  What are some tips I can share with her about her position (attacking center midfielder in 9v9, but coaches are thinking a winger in 11v11) on the field.

I expressed to her that this is a great opportunity even though she would be leaving her teammates, but when you are the only new kid on the team coming in mid season with middleschoolers I can see where she would have hesitation.  So give me what tips you may have around the game play tips, I can handle the emotional component..I think.

This stretch of off season time is important. During this time, I would ask her how interested she is in spending two days a week using an app like Techne ([url]http://www.technefutbol.com/[/url] and another two days a week working on speed and agility. Nothing makes a player's skill look diminished more than rust and exhaustion.

The touches will clean up any rust and the speed and agility addresses the soccer-specific conditioning that is called on most when playing.[/quote]

So they are still doing 2 a week practices, but both indoors.  As for physical training, she runs with my husband and her older brother at least 3 times a week.  Except for when it's freezing like today!  I'll take a look at the website, I had not heard of that before.[/quote]
