Wow this is fantastic John and Ian. I’ve watched a number of your videos from the varsity team. From the looks of it the JV team is in a similar boat. I know how JV can be too. Girls with no soccer experience coming to play soccer. Awesome that they want to play, but impossible to catch them up. No doubt that a JV girl would be ready to handle Varsity because the foundation is there. For varsity, you have a proper “academy” running in below with this JV team.
Thanks for sharing the results of your academy.
I’ve also experienced clubs that either
1) claimed to have a vision (usually revolving around possession, skillful play, yada yada) but in reality have their coaches playing the Sam old same old,
2) who want to implement a top to bottom style that is junk.
We’ve been doing the same thing as you at Mt Tahoma HS ( see vids on this page) and our JV has actually had more success early on because<span class=”Apple-style-span” style=”-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469);”> what they are doing is so differentbfrom how ouropponents approach JV. We get mostly kids who don’t play on teams so developing an academy is our only chance to be competitive. Trying to infiltrate the middle schools is our next goal. That would be something</span>
Are you hosting the 3four3 clinic this weekend. Just got back from Bolivia our I would be interested in going. I have a buddy in AG who is interested. He’s Bernardo’s asst coach and I’d like to expose him to this methodology. Heard you played them recently and weren’t impressedwith their style 🙂
Scott-
I just watched his and Bernardo’s team play this weekend actually. Their Center Forward and Holding Mid are two of my high school players that I have worked with for quite awhile, at the high school and club level. They connected for two goals in the first half of the game I watched. Bernardo began scouting them this high school season. Those two players were actually on a rival club team coached by fellow 3four3 member, and friend of mine, Pete Duguran.
We already have several 3four3 member coaches attending the clinic and you’re more than welcome to join! Maybe you, John, and I can grab a beer or something while you’re down here and discuss some things. I’d love to meet up with you and John and talk soccer.
