They have been doing almost two to three miles of practice of just running and being able to be quick on their feet. They have been running over 100 yards each practice, back and forth from each end of the field, and doing lunches to strengthen their legs.
The Offensive side

They have been finding different and new and improved ways to get past those girls and improve their skills. They have been focusing on catching and throwing and being able to pick up a ground ball. They have also been focusing on making runs and cutting plays through the defenders. During practice, they run a 7v7 against the defense, where they run multiple plays. They have included making runs and making cuts to find openings between the players. In doing so, they try to find openings to receive the pass and score a goal.
