ASC U10 Team changes and Parent Meeting followup

Team:

Just want to clarify the changes for the ASC U10 teams.

ASC BU10 Blue (Boys) - This team will be the boys team moving forward.  All u10 boys should plan on coming to the Blue team games starting this weekend.  Please see Laura's email or the schedule from the ASC u10 homepage ( http://asc-u10.blogspot.com/ ).

ASC GU10 Red (Girls) - This team will be the girls team moving forward.  All u10 girls should plan on coming to the Red team games starting this weekend.

*** ASC GU10 Red team manager needed  *** 

Because of the changes we have lost our team manager for the Red team.  Please send me an email if you are interested in stepping up.  The job is not very difficult, but it make a huge difference.

Thanks to all the parents for coming to the meeting and suffering through the bug bites and my speech.  Hopefully the bugs were worse than my speech :)  If you have any questions about what was discussed please let me know.

If you missed the meeting drop me a message and I can forward my notes which should cover everything we discussed.

Thanks again and see everyone on Friday.

PS If your player is talking about having to do "challenges" and you are confused, here is the deal.  We have set simple skills challenges for the players and asked them to practice 5-15 minutes a day everyday on them.  I have told them that if they do this they will master these skills by the end of the season.  Please encourage you player to do a little something everyday, it will make a big difference I promise.  IF you have questions or concerns please let me know.

Challenge #1 -  Thigh juggling.  Drop and bounce the ball off the thigh and catch. 1 thigh and catch, then 2 thighs and catch, 3 thighs and catch, etc.  How many can you get?

Challenge #2 - Instep juggling. Drop ball from extended arms and strike with pointed foot on instep (laces).  Catch.  Repeat. How many can you do before missing?

Challenge #3 - Heading.  Throw ball underhanded up about 2 feet above head.  Strike with head back straight up in air. Catch ball underhanded.  Repeat.  How many can you do before missing?
