DO this 4 times each side.Then lightly throw balls at them, make sure you throw them to their hands as well.
Get the girls after they have warmed up to get into three lines, one on each post and one on the dot. All balls start on one post. They pass it to the opposite post, who then pass it to the dot to have a shot. It the girls can do raised shots at goal this is good. Follow pass
