I always think Dragon team needs a private  pratice session.   That's how we know eachother better
and improve the level of play, and more discipline and fun, of course.

We can choose  Thursday if the mass will be on Tuesday.   Also the closed team practice can open to
2~5 guest players if the number is a problem.  ( we have around 20 players. If  more than half can show up, say 12. with
4 guest players,  an 8x8 scrimage will be an ideal. )

Guest players:    must play at the level higher than the norm of the team.  Veteran priority.

-ps:

It has  been troubling  the way we having our practice, particularily on Sunday.    With  30 or more players in the field without an even split,
I can hardly imagine it is fun any more.

Soccoer is a matchup and position game.   If player running in  the field without the concept of  his position,  we just become a bunch of kids playing on
the street with chaos.  If you see more than 2 players chasing the ball simultaneously,   something is wrong.  And you can figure out the level of play.


The idea of the scrimage is to have more fun and improve.   I think we can achieve that  with a private  session for the team.
