Brian thanks for reminding us why children are on our teams…Play! I started practice this week with a U12 team. The gym was double booked and that left us outside for our first practice (California no worries). Not one of the 12 boys complained, we’re thrilled to have there first practice. I was scheduled for 90 min. We went 2hour and many stayed after continuing to play.
Building off your drills I wanted to share the use of infinity walks as a warm up. It allows me to develop all the extra stuff we don’t necessarily have time to do: focus, vision, vestibular and motor integration.
Check out these links to get yourself up to speed on the concept. I add changing focal points, pace, dribbling and passing as elements

Thanks again Brian for creating this space
Very good, as always. Is the Gary Klein book worth reading?
Yes. I like all of his books that I have read.
