PHS v Emmaus Soccer

Wednesday, September 19

The Parkland Boys & Girls HS soccer teams play Emmaus tomorrow (Wednesday). There is a long standing rivalry between these teams and it would be great to get our families to come out and support the PHS soccer teams. I believe this is the only home night game for the boys due to PSD budget cuts.

BOYS: (JV) 5:30 pm and (Varsity) 7pm – PHS Stadium field.

GIRLS: (JV) 5:30 pm and (Varsity) 7pm – Emmaus HS

Players could use these games as a learning opportunity by watching players on the field that play a similar position:

Things to look for:

-First touch

-Movement on/off ball

-Communication

-Throw-ins -possession is 1^st option.

-Offensive - How there are always (3) players “connected” – remember player with ball should always have two options to play the ball to.

-Defense – (2-3) players “connected” pressure/support.

-Individual player speed

-50/50 balls

-If a player loses possession, what do they do?

-Goalies – Communication, ball distribution after a save, wall set up, corner kick defense.
