We lined up with 2 in back, 4 along the front. They came at us with 4 back and 2 up front. But it was clear their attackers were a cut above.

4-4 at halftime. Lots of walking and standing, noon kicks in Texas can be tough on energy. Luckily they woke up at half and started hustling. With more aggression our 4 up front put in 6 second half goals and we ended 10-6.

I know the best skill ends up with clubs but I’m really enjoying rec with a core that’s been together for several years. It is fun to see them grow and develop their skills together and really figure out positions.

How’d the rest of you rec coaches do today? Any tips to share?
