Game day notes

Weekly quiz – safe play near our own goal
You can win a treat after our Wednesday or Thursday practice if you can answer these questions about safety vs. danger when you have the ball near our own goal.
- Why does the coach say “danger ball!” when you dribble or pass into the space in front of our own goal?
- Because you’re taking a big risk! If you lose the ball, the other team gets an easy chance to score.
- It’s where dinosaurs roamed thousands of years ago.
- Because you can rearrange the letters in “danger ball” to form “nerd lab gal.”
- Why is it usually safer and smarter to dribble or pass toward the sideline, away from our own goal?
- It’s where dinosaurs roamed thousands of years ago.
- There’s usually more open space and less opponents in the wide areas. And if we do lose the ball out wide, the other team doesn’t get an easy scoring chance.
- You may get a chance to smile at your grandmother!
