Last Saturday, the Soccer Team had another good training session, primarily to prepare for the Agape Cup 2009. This time, attendance was better with 22 team members and 2 young boys (perhaps future team members?). I started with devotion, focusing on the proverb
‘The man who makes no mistakes does not normally make anything’, which encourages us not to fear making mistakes in the process of improving oneself, whether on or off the soccer field. Ronnie started training with some drills such as:
- Dribbling
- Ball control (juggling)
- Passing on the ground (with a midfield pivot)
- Trapping high ball and passing
The drills were followed with a 12-a-side game with randomly selected players based on Blues versus Reds. The Blues ended up victorious 2 – 0 with both goals from Darren Tan. Blues controlled the play well, kept possession and used the speed of their forwards to trouble the Reds numerous times during the match. The Reds had good chances but failed to put them away.
Both teams benefited from the training session, but work still needs to be done in the area of keeping possession and making every set-piece count.
