Last week's game was great: another big turnout, lots of running and passing, and a big spread of ages and levels of ability. I especially appreciated how y'all allowed the littlest ones, the "tiny team" to have their turns with the ball.
Let's do even better with that this week.
1. If a player indicates that a pass is intended for a tiny person (generally players of about 6 years of age who cannot really compete with anyone 10 or older), let the pass reach the tiny teamer.
2. If the tiny teamer gets the ball, allow him or her to kick it at least 3 times, and don't grab the ball until it stops after the last kick.
3. If the tiny teamer wants to dribble, let him or her dribble as much as he or she wants. Let him or her kick it at the end.
4. If an older player shouts "tiny team," that's the signal that we'll allow two or more tinies to dribble and kick and pass to each other. I'll let you know when the regular game begins again.
How's that strike you? Feedback is welcome.
Monday, April 29, from 3-5 p.m. at Howard Park at the corner of St. Louis Blvd. and Jefferson Blvd. in South Bend.
Everyone is welcome everyone regardless of age or level of skill or fitness. Everyone will be treated well.
