What was apparent during our 1-3 loss to City United yesterday was the ABSENCE of communication between our players. Giving them the benefit of the doubt since they have only started playing together, our players do need to learn how to talk to one another on the pitch. Communication is vital during a match and can be the difference between winning and losing.
What was apparent was also the collapse of the "christmas tree" formation that Kickalob adopts for all its teams. The players did not seem to understand the functions of each position; again, the benefit of the doubt given that they have only been together for 2 weeks. Knowing one's role when playing is very important as a "malfunctioning" player can and will lead to disaster for the team.
What was apparent was the fact that some players are going to be "burnt out" due to playing too many sports - futsal, football, basketball, cricket, rugby, etc. Not good for children to over-expose themselves to too many sports. They may not feel it now but when they grow older, the effects will show. Furthermore, it is not good for their brain development as the brain will be too tired to even stimulate and develop!!!!!
What was apparent was the recognition that our Kickalob has at the field. Many people were asking me how to enroll their kids but I had to tell them that we were not taking in anymore enrollments until next term. This augurs well for Kickalob's future, doesn't it?
