[homeschoolhub] Soccer for newbies? Mon. 8/26, 3-5 p.m.

 

What can I say about last week? As one tall taciturn fellow observed," It was great. It was soccer! It was great!"

Let's have a few more newbies this week! We always treat them well as you can tell by our mantra:

"Everyone is valued regardless of age, gender, or level of skill or fitness."

Monday, August 26, 3-5 p.m. at Howard Park at the corner of St. Louis and Jefferson Blvds. in South Bend.

See you there?

Best,

[homeschoolhub] Soccer in Oxygen Debt. Mon., 8/12/13, 3-5 p.m.

 

For some reason, we had no tiny team members last week, so we played with a relatively small number of older students - every one of whom could run faster and longer than I could. It was exhausting!

Please! This week bring some of the ones with the really short legs. They're cute, and while they have the ball, I can catch my breath.

Everyone is valued regardless of age, gender, or level of skill or fitness.

Monday, August 12, 3-5 p.m. at Howard Park at the corner of St. Louis and Jefferson Blvds. in South Bend.

Best,

Tom Borek

[homeschoolhub] Soccer Passing Mon. 8/5/13 3-5 p.m.

 

Another great game last week. More people were playing their positions and making themselves available to receive passes.

This week, let's think about passing to score a goal. Some of our faster runners enjoy taking the ball down the left or right side for the field and then turning toward the goal at the last minute. When you do this, you are running toward the goal at an extreme angle. The goal, which should be about 8 feet wide in our games, effectively shrinks. Depending upon the angle, your target might effectively be only 2 or 3 feet wide. It's easy for a goalie or defender to block your shot.

Here's the trick: When you get close to the goal, just make a quick, short pass to a teammate who is almost directly in front of the goal. For that player, the goal is effectively a much bigger target. It is easier for that player to kick the ball past the goalie or defender. Also, becaue everyone is trying to stop you, your teammate in front of the goal may be relatively undefended.

Another advantage of this play is that your pass is coming toward your teammate from the general direction of the goal. Therefore, the teammate does not have to stop the ball and change direction. He or she can even just let the ball bounce off his or her foot or leg in order to deflect it into the goal.

Everyone is valued regardless of age, gender, or level of skill or fitness.

Monday, August 5, 3-5 p.m. at Howard Park at the corner of St. Louis and Jefferson Blvds in South Bend.

Best,

Tom Borek

[homeschoolhub] File - Important Info

 


This post will go out each month as a reminder. Just delete it once you have it memorized. :-)

First, you can access the website at hshub.org. It is FULL of info on local groups, homeschooling, contests, scholarships, how to make your own free/nearly free individualized curriculum, fun youtube videos, etc. If you haven't been there in a while, check it out! New homeschoolers might especially find this article useful: http://hshub.org/New_to_Homeschooling_.html

Second, if you haven't signed up for the weekly email newsletter, YOU ARE MISSING OUT! It is full of events, field trips, activities, scholarships, volunteer opportunities, etc. for families. To sign up, go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HUBnewsletter/ OR send an email to the following address: HUBnewsletter-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Third, the Homeschool HUB is a volunteer organization. We need local homeschool support to continue to function. Please consider helping out. You can serve on the board, teach a class, organize a play group, organize a field trip, teach a one-night workshop (on anything--cooking pizza, using Prezi or MS Word, painting, martial arts, dog breeds, Chinese culture...), throw a party, host a Shakespeare club, give a talk, or anything else you can think of. If you're interested in something, chances are another homeschooler will be, too.

Thank you!
