Commissioners, Coaches,and Board members:
Please send out the word about Street Soccer. Last Saturday we had four very talented PTHS players come and coach our young players. The PTSA players really loved playing with and learning skills from the High School players. Our young players received great training and played a ton of soccer just for fun. More of our kids should have this experience. Please send out this message to as many PTSA families as you can.
Thank you
Manny Politis
Who: Grasshopper through U12, registered PTSA players No pre-registration required Wear soccer gear, bring ball (with name/phone # on it), and plenty of water
Place & Time: Saturdays: May 3, 10, 17 5-7 pm in Peterswood Park Soccer Complex
Goal: Players get a feel for "street soccer" where they're in control of the game and largely supervise themselves; they can play free of the fear of making mistakes in front of adults, and they can be creative on the soccer field and experiment with learned or self-invented moves.
Schedule: 20 minutes n PTHS Varsity Soccer players will teach individual soccer techniques n The use of 1 v 1 match related activities will help players perfect their skills against the opposition in more demanding situations.
100 minutes n Participants play "street soccer" in a "pick-up" game environment n Small sided teams are randomly assigned; play 5-10 minutes on a rotational basis n No adult coaching, refereeing or feedback: the kids play games (supervised by PTSA coaches), where they motivate themselves, figure out how to use the learned techniques and play in a fear-free environment.
