Set-up

Full 11v11 scrimmage, two 20-minute halves. Teams balanced deliberately: Team A — Sowers, Navas, Omalley, Humphrey, Anater (GK), Raudabaugh, Edgington, Phillips, Stoltzfus, Pelaez, Weinheimer. Team B — Hurter, Barnock, Dougherty, Nguyen (if passed doubtful), Rhoades (GK), Duncan Wimmer, Havrilla, Diaz, Lykens, Escalante, Owens. W=3pts D=1pt L=0 — keep a live tally on the sideline. Note: Berdecia, Prieto, Stritch marked out.

Coaching points

  • Play what you've worked on — shape first, heroics second
  • Sowers: circulate the ball, don't force the diagonal when the short pass is on
  • Wimmer and Owens: use that pace with purpose, not just for show

Progressions

  • Freeze moments when shape breaks — 30-second correction, then play on
  • Award a bonus point to whichever team executes a set-piece goal — rewards the morning work
