Players and parents. The US Women's National Team is the #1 ranked women's soccer team in the world. They are the current champions of the World Cup and last week became the champions of the 2018 She Believes Cup, beating England, Germany and France.
Below is a clip from their snowy match against Germany which demonstrates a core principle we teach. Not Bunching Up. Use the space and form triangles.
I love seeing the player who typically plays right forward realize she needs to relocate, as her teammate with the ball is quickly driving into that corner.
There is no use having 2 teammates stuck in the same corner. So she abruptly chooses to use the space appropriately. Instead of congesting it, she gives her teammate the room and finds other open space where she can be useful.
A great example for our girls that even at the highest levels of soccer this is an issue they constantly deal with. This example is great because it is obvious and so deliberate.
Use the space girls. Find the openings. Create triangles for left & right passing angles. And by all means, don't bunch up.
