     THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2nd
            BOYS:  9th - 12th
CD HINDENBERGER, JACOB WINTON, and CHRISTIAN WINTON.
If the ground hog stuck his head out he would have pulled it back in again real quick or he would lose it.  All Three of these guys are quick and have strong kicks; you don't want to get in their way.  Lots of work on some four part combination moves.  All three worked non-stop with lots of energy and focus.  When it comes to quality they lead the way. CHRISTIAN got there first on the finish of the four part drill but JACOB and CD were looking good also thanks to the way the approach every drill. It was good to hear them say they were going home and work more on this drill.  That is what makes champions.

ANNA-HOLT SHAW, KATIE FAGAN, MIRANDA MELLETTE, MALLORY CASEY, TAYLOR NEWTON, ASHLEY BENNET, TAYLOR DAVIS, SUMMER HAMBY, RUSS BOYD, SAM ZEINO, AIDEN ZEINO, FRANK HARASIGAN, JUSTIN LAWSON. 

The students got in lots of work continuing with scissors and double scissors adding in and deleting step-outs.  Rolls with scissor and side of the foot chips.  Good work by all with TAYLOR DAVIS making great progress with the side of the foot chip.  TAYLOR NEWTON has the scissors down exactly now.  ASHELY and SUMMER demonstrated one of the moves we worked on which was great to see.  RUSS is getting faster and more technically correct each week.  JUSTIN, FRANK, SAM, and AIDEN all were very much on top of each drill.  MALLORY, MIRANDA, and ANNA-HOLT had a number of goals in scrimmage benefit of good passing.  KATIE scored and played hard even though she was not feeling well. 


     SATURDAY, JANUARY 28th
            GIRLS - 9th - 12th
MCKENZIE McCLOUD, LAUREN ROLLER, EMMIE ACUFF, LARISSA LOPEZ, SAVANNAH CULBREATH, ZACK CULBREATH, LENA BROYLES, KATIE FOX, ABBY SMITH, ANNA-HOLT SHAW, BETSY TRAINHAM, JARICA BRASWELL, MORIAH STUMP, CALLIE KESTY, SHELBY DENNIS. 
Wow, how do you give proper credit to each student. LAUREN did a great job demonstrating the outside of the foot cuts.  It was so good to see her finally use the kick form under in scrimmage and do it so well. All the students did well with the rolls going from the left foot to the right.  SAVANNAH, SHELBY, ABBY, did great with the volley kicks. It was good to see MCKENZIE, EMMIE, CALLIE, and ANNA-HOLT do so well with the double scissor, step and push.  It was also good to have JARICA, LENA and KATIE back and see them get into the volley kick drill with great determination.  ZACK made good progress with this kick just like he has with the side of the foot chips.  MORIAH did so well with the rolls and then started to get the knack of the volley kicks having hit some just right.  LARISSA and BETSY did very well with the rolls in training and then used them in the scrimmage which is what we like to see. It was a tight congested scrimmage.  It was so good to see six of the students use a number of very good skills and a few others use one or two with good success.  This is what it is all about.  KEN CRAIG and CHRIS SMITH were a big help as well as great in the goal.  PATTI JORDAN and ABBY SPITLER had two games in Knoxville in which they played well and had good success.  BARBARA NIGRO and HANNAH DUNN were in Atlanta for games.  ABBY ROLLER had a travel game in MURFREESBORO.  ABBY COLLINS is playing basketball for CHS for another few weeks.  Hope we didn't leave anyone out.  We will miss lots of girls the next few months because of travel team soccer. 

       FRIDAY, JANUARY 27th
            BOYS - 5th - 8th
RYAN JOHNSON, BRALEN CLOUSE, RYAN LOMBARDO, JACOB LORENZEN, ROBERT BELL, ALLEN FIELDS, ANDREW AGBUNAG CONNER REAVILL.

RYAN JOHNSON AND BRALEN are using their prior sessions to the benefit of new students as they help them catch up.  Great to see this type of cooperation.  Both of them are making great progress with some of the more difficult moves like the double scissor, step-out and push with the outside of the foot move.  JACOB, RYAN LOMBARDO, and ROBERT are just one more session away from not only being quick with the double scissor but also technically perfect at the rate they are progressing.  ALLEN got the step on the ball, double step-over, and step out sequence down along with ANDREW and CONNER.  Now that they have the sequence down we look to see technical excellence from them based on the way they are working.  Nice progress from all these students.  In the scrimmage they had quite a game having to shoot against two pro goalies.  JEFF JOHNSON and MICHAEL CLOUSE were called up from the minors to the big league much to the delight of the fans who cheered and laughed at times as the students went at it with lots of good hard shots.  



       FRIDAY, JANUARY 27th
             GIRLS - 5th - 8th
MADISON MASON, MAKENNA MASON, LAURA BELL, HOPE DUNN, SARAH GAW.

MADISON has the double scissor move looking sharp.  MAKENNA is miss sharp with the single scissor and step-out.  LAURA has made very impressive gains in only one week on the roll taps and the scissor move.  HOPE has the behind the back cuts coming along real nice as well as being focused on everything we work on.  SARAH has the double scissor clicking and the behind the back 45% cuts about to the point of beating someone with the move.  Nice work girls! 


             TUESDAY, JANUARY 24th
             CRYSA  - Co-ed
  RUSS BOYD, AUSTIN AKERS, FRANK MARASIGAN, AIDEN ZENO, SAM ZENO, JUSTIN LAWSON, BAILEY MELLETTE, MIRANDA MELLETTE, KENDELL, JOHNSON, KAYDE JOHNSON, JARET JOHNSON, SUMMER HAMBRY, MALLORY CASEY, ANNAHOLT SHAW, KATIE FAGAN, VERITYY MOBLEY, ANNALISE WALLACE.

It was so good to see RUSS, BAILEY, FRANK, MIRANDA, and KATIE offer to demonstrate the step-out move we have been working on.  They all did great. JARET did real well with the scissor move but he knew he had to after watching KENDELL demonstrate it so well and then KAYDE looking good with this move also.  SAM, AIDEN, VEIRITY and AUSTIN were superb with the scissor and step-out move on both the move itself and the quickness.  ANNALISE, MALLORY, and SUMMER, started slow but ended up in short time doing a very good job with the drill that required them to step on the ball, step-over coming back, do it again going the other way, step-out, and then push with the outside of the foot the other way.  Whew!  Takes a bunch just to write it let alone do it.  ANNA-HOLT has become super quick with many of the things we have covered so far but he quickness with the double scissor, step-out, and then go move is almost at the five star level which is exceptional.   JUSTIN started out real slow with the side of the foot chips but after making the proper adjustment became the leader with three prefect chips to lead all scorers for the evening.  Very nice! 

 
           SATURDAY, JANUARY 21st
                              GIRLS 9th - 12th
ANNA-HOLT SHAW, MORIAH STUMP, LARISSA LOPEZ, LAUREN ROLLER, ABBY ROLLER, MADISON MASON, SAVANNAH CULBREATH, ZACK CULBREATH, BARBARA NIGRO, HANNAH DUNN, SHEBLY DENNIS, and MAKENNA MASON assisting. 
 
 ANNA-HOLT, HANNAH, LAUREN and MADISON really looked "sharp" with the scissors.  SAVANNAH, ZACK and SHELBY took the lead with the side of the foot chips.  SHELBY and BARBARA scored during the chip contest with on target hits for each of their teams.  ABBY ROLLER, MORIAH, LARISSA l were certainly looking good with those rolls, stop and go's with BARBARA leading the way on a move she has mastered.  

          FRIDAY, JANUARY 20th
                 BOYS 5th - 8th
We are waiting for the complete names of three of the boys before we post.  Sorry for the delay. We need to have all the release forms signed before we can post the picture taken at the session.  Thanks for checking. 


                   GIRLS 5th - 8th
HOPE DUNN, SARAH GAW, CALLIE KESTY, MIRANDA MELLETTE, KATIE FAGAN, CHLOE RIPPETOE, LAURA BELL.

HOPE might go slow during the skill drills but she sure turns it on during scrimmage using lots of good skill moves we have worked on.  Shows her concentration.  SARAH and CALLIE certainly have the fast feet on the roll taps as well as nice flow with the step-outs.  KATIE made the step-over and step-out look good as usual while MIRANDA had the rolls and stop really rolling.  CHLOE was back and she showed she had not lost her touch with the chips as demonstrated pre-session as well as she did a real nice job with the step-outs.  LAURA really got off to a great start her first session.  She even made the complicated step-over and double step-out look like she had done it before which was impressive.
