(Bryan had a very good U-9 team that was 4-0, outscoring opponents 30-5).

Hi David,

Re your tips, I agree with each one. We do Dribble Across every practice - it really makes a difference! Coaching Rule No. 3 should be Coaching Rule No. 1, as it is why my girls are so successful at dominating the opponents - it is rare that an opponent manages to get the ball clear from their end on a goal kick as my girls just step in front of them and steal it. I have also done your revised Dribble Around game, and it is a favorite with the girls - they are *very* competitive, so that sort of game always works well.

Regards,

Bryan
