Coaching Points

1) Field Awareness: Are players playing with their heads up seeing the field? Are players supporting the player on the ball?

2) Decision Making: Are players making quick decision? After receiving the ball, as they receive the ball or before they receive the ball?

3) Creativity: Are players willing to take risks, making runs off the ball, or use individual skills to create goal scoring opportunities?
