was it a bunch of demonstration that involved some kids and had others just standing around watching until it was their turn?

kind of we spent at least half of practice in a "game situation drill" where the girls stand in positions and try to pass it to each other for a goal against one defender. For like 30 minutes, twice last week. And I mean these kids literally can't tell left from right.

Squawk coach has had dobberettes team spread out and run passing drills at 30 ft. I mean, only two girls can kick it that far, much less have any accuracy. I totally get spacing and all, but sheesh.....

dobberette's team was tied 0-0 at half. They lost 6-0. It was frustrating. They gave up one goal and then if was a bunch of chickens running around with their heads chopped off for the rest of the 2nd half.

dobberjr's ninjas won 3-1. Probably their best game of the year. Crisp passing and excellent building. Felt like it could have been 10-1. Just some really good possessing.

Angels had an exciting match on Tuesday. dobberjr played center mid. Score was 1-2 throughout most of the 2nd. With time winding down, an Angel forced a shot from 25 yards from the right side. It was deflected out towards center midfield and another angel smashed it from about 30 yards and it went just over the top of the outstretched goalie's hands with 2 seconds left. The two extra periods resulted in no scores and the game ended in a 2-2 tie.

Toddlerdobber dribbled the ball on an adjoining field for about 30 minutes. He was exhausted.

Dobberette plays one on the weekends with a couple if weekends playing 2!
Dobberjr plays 1-3 (usually 2) during the week and one on the weekend.
Unless tournaments, then not 8. Next weekend they are both in tournaments, so probably like 76 games.

There are lots of sub story lines that I could include. Like the mom that sent Mrsdobber an email basically telling us that Toddlerdobber was being a bully to her little boy and we needed to watch him better during the games. Or the other mom that purposely avoids ever cheering for dobberjr because <insert very long story> Mrsdobber thinks the mom is a fake bitch.

Anyway, Angels got beat last night 0-4. Coach is playing too much dump and run in my opinion. We did have two easy opportunities, one went off the post, the other was on a rebound and the kid tried to tap it in and the goalie was able to recover. The other team was pretty good. Maybe that's why coach tried to dump and run so much?
High soccer iq types, is that why a coach would choose to dump and run a lot? Explain why the dump and run strategy would be employed.

Non soccer types, dump and run is a soccer thing that you probably wouldn't understand. Poop is not involved.

Gotta love the sub stories. After last weekend's games I got a call from the league manager checking on the quality of officiating because he had multiple calls from parents about how bad they were.

Oh man, soccer moms. Please include petty, soccer mom squabbles! How old is toddlerdobbler?

He is 3. "After he made my boy cry..."

Well, your boy is a whimp who sucks his thumb and carries his blanket like Linus!

The funny thing is that the two 3 year olds want to keep playing together at every game and the other mom is visibly upset that these two little guys want to play together.

Dobberette had two games over the weekend. Tied 1-1 and lost 2-0. I "informed" the ref that the other team had an extra player on the field when they scored a goal in the second game. She showed me up by calling me onto the field after the goal and explained to me that she thought another girl had left the field but she was wrong. The goal counted. I looked at her like she was speaking a foreign language and turned around and walked back to our sideline. Not my finest moment, but it was BS because our girls were standing around waiting for the substitutions to end and the other team scored. This really belongs in the shame yourself thread, even though I didn't say anything bad. The fact is, if you are a coach in a 4th grade girls soccer game and the ref calls you onto the field, you are not doing it right. Dobberjr, who was watching with mrs and toddler dobber, was impressed, which only compounds my stupidity. Dobberette played well in the first game but had a sore leg in the second game and didn't play more than 5-10 minutes.

Dobberjr's Ninjas won Sunday 3-1. Dobberjr scored a hustle goal with 2 minutes left that sealed the win. Best shot was a hard drive up the right and then came across the 18 to the front of the goal and boomed a left footed shot to just below the crossbar that the goalie deflected at the last second. Probably his strongest shot ever with his left, which was cool to see.

TLDNR: dobberette 1-1, 0-2. I am an idiot (but not that bad).

Dobberjr 3-1 with the late win clinching goal.

Toddlerdobber played cheerleader with two older girls :player: !

ahhh, don't get me started on substitutions (too late, I just got started). This is the first year we started doing in game subs (playing halves instead of quarters) so of course I taught my team the positions and how to sub in and out, tagging the correct player, and what not. The coach on the other team still goes out on the field and physically moves his players around both at kick off and during subs. I mean grabbing them and pulling them around to get into position. So of course substitutions take twice as long as they should. He doesn't understand the whole "coaching box" concept. In the middle of the game he'll actually be standing in front of me in my coaching box. He's been reminded at least once every game about where he needs to stay, but by the next game, he's roaming the side lines again.

slobber · « **Reply #96 on:** October 08, 2014, 02:53:09 PM »

Angels mercy ruled some pud team last night. 9-0.
dobberjr played mostly holding mid, but got a few minutes at attacking midfielder as well. Had one decent opportunity with his left. I love that he isn't shying away from using his left.

toddlerdobber had a 6th grade girl chasing him around at half time. I mean, I don't even know what to think about this at this point. He wakes up from his nap setting in mrsdobber's lap and then runs out on the field and older girls chase him around.

was sitting in my living room (lower level) and heard what I thought was an asteroid crashing down on my house upstairs. ran up there and opened lil sd's room and he's standing at the doorway. crawled over the railing of his crib and ate crap from about 4 1/2 feet up. seemed non-sketti-brained but pretty pissed off about the situation. going to need to get a lil kid bed.

yeah, that is a pretty tell tale sign the kid is ready for you to turn the crib into a toddler bed.

Angels won 2-0. dobberjr is looking pretty good at center back and holding mid. Developing a great deal of confidence with his first touch and with the ball at his feet.

Toddlerdobber continues to develop a great deal of confidence with the ladies at these soccer games.
