MONTCLAIR UNITED GEAR

The club is offering some items (e.g., jackets, pants, bags, hats, etc.) with the logo for sale on its web site. The prices are very reasonable and for a small fee most items can be customized with the player's name. I've put in an order for Mateo.

To see, go to the club website (www.montclairsoccer.com) and click on the tab at the top for 'Spirit Wear.' Alternatively, click here and you should get to the right page.

Please let me know if you have questions.

Best,

Charlie

I've been thinking a lot about the last game and hope to talk about it with the boys before our next one. The other team had great ball skills as well as worked well together. We had a lot of promising opportunities as well as shots on goal that did not convert. They scored mostly by getting behind us when we were forward. I had considered switching to a more defensive formation but felt that would have raised confusion. This week we will work ahead of time on having more tactical options that we can employ depending on the flow of the game. If you can arrive 20 minutes early I'd greatly appreciate it.

Please let us know if your player(s) will be at the game.

regards,

2011 Red Bulls Goals

from Saturday, December 10, 2011

Good morning,

Game 1pm tomorrow. Wear blue but bring white jersey in case.

About last Saturday: We thought the boys played well, particularly since this was their first time together with a new kind of ball, court and format. Regarding tactics ... we started the first half with a box-like formation: two defenders and two forward. We noted defensive confusion since kids were not shifting over to cover for another defensive player who may have moved up to join the midfield. At halftime we switched to a diamond: one defensive player back, two midfielders wide and one attacker at the point. One goal was to create more passing triangles: two passing options for the person with the ball. The advantages were more consistency on defense and more pressure for the attack. The disadvantage is that one defender can get overwhelmed so other players need to hustle run back. We will try the diamond again this week but encourage the kids to keep the formation tighter; that is, not rush forward when we are in position but come back to the person with the ball to give him options.

Please let me know whether your player(s) will play.

Best,

Charlie

Winter Futsal league opportunity

We have an opportunity to create a team (or couple of teams) for a futsal league that plays in a Totowa facility, Sundays from 11am to 2pm.  

The league begins 4 December. 8 weeks of play. Ends first week in February. This is 5 per side play, one player is a goalie. 

Cost would be about $60. This is separate from the winter training program.

Please let us know if your player wants in. The league begins next weekend, so we need to know ASAP.

Thanks
