Day 3 Camp Report
 
This is what we did today.......MELT........!!!!!
 
Well Coach Andre was at it again with the young men and women of camp. You really can't call them kids because they have been working hard. All of you parents are welcome to come out and watch for yourself how hard these young people work.
 
Today lesson was defending and tackling:
        1 on 1 defending
        1 on 1 shadow play
        Laying out the defense of a game
        defending stance
        defending distance
        game --- gates on each side of field with a defender, player tries
                   to score on gate.
 
        Pushing play ---- pushing player to either left or right
    By making the player turn either left or right makes the play predictable
        to allow the defender to take the ball.
    Game --- Grid of 10 x 20 with 1 player in each goal and 2 in the middle
                                        worked to turn player,  profile and distance,  eye the ball, keep
                    body close to carrier player to keep them from turning.
                                        Use distance for quick recovery if player is able to turn.
 
    Tackling --- different kinds of block tackles
                    Block with sole of foot
                    Block with outside of foot
                    Block with inside of foot
     Game to put all skills into practice.
 
Coach Andre's take home point today is Defense is 3-D -----
                DENY, DESTROY & DEVELOP.
The principle of defense makes the game predicable and winnable.
 
Remember it is HOT ......drink lots of water before, during and after.
