Flag pull mirror

Set up. Pairs in a 5-yard box marked with cones. One ball carrier, one defender.

Your job. Notice what lights her up, and name it out loud.

SOUL check “What did you enjoy most today?”
Look for: She names something she loved doing.

Set up. A 20 by 15 yard field, teams of three.

Coaching points. Coach the team, not one player. Call out the assist and the talk out loud.

Your job. Coach the team: call out the assist and the talk.
