The players in the 3 finishing lines make curved runs and attack the near post, middle, and far post and attempt to finish on goal as quickly as possible. If a shot is not taken quick enough or the ball is received with their back facing the goal, a ball should be played to the center line for a first time shot on goal.</p> <h3 style="margin-top: 15px;">Variations</h3> <ul> <li>Add defensive players as passive defenders.

Shielding occurs when the player in possession of the ball positions themselves between the ball and their opponent creating a barrier with their body. The player simply uses their body as a shield to keep distance between the ball and the defender.</p> <h2>Effective Soccer Shielding Skills</h2> <p>To perfect shielding  in soccer the player in possession of the ball should turn their body somewhat sideways to the defender with their knees slightly bent. Both of the player’s arms should be up and away from their body bent at the elbows. The arm closest to the defender will be used to hold off the defender (shield the defender) while the other arm is used for balance. The hands should also be used to feel the defender and can somewhat be used to manipulate the defender’s position. The shielding player’s head should be up at a position where they can see the defender and the ball; however, if they can feel the ball with their touch rather than looking at it they will be more effective. With a wide stance the ball should be held with the outside foot at the farthest distance from the defender, but close enough to maneuver quickly. The player shielding the ball should be able to move the ball with the soul of the foot, top of the foot, as well as the inside and outsides of both feet. Lastly, the shielding player should be able to quickly pivot and push or pull the ball into space farthest from the defender.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dallasjuventus.com/blog.aspx">http://www.dallasjuventus.com/blog.aspx</a></p> urn:uuid:bc2d4034-2cc4-4f94-b547-4ad3768650b0 Week One - February 14 Time Home Away Field 12:30 PM Solar Red - Solca Dallas Texans Red South HHS 1:45 PM FC Dallas - Pratt Sting Friedrichs LHS 3:00 PM Dallas (Home) Juventus Black vs (Away) Aztecs ...Field: Hebron HS 4:15 PM Texas Blitz Solar Na...Wed, 10 Feb 2010 17:42:35 -0600<b> <p style="text-align: left;">Week One - February 14</p> </b> <p style="text-align: left;">Time Home Away Field</p> <p style="text-align: left;">12:30 PM Solar Red - Solca Dallas Texans Red South HHS</p> <p style="text-align: left;">1:45 PM FC Dallas - Pratt Sting Friedrichs LHS</p> <p style="text-align: left;"><strong>3:00 PM Dallas (Home) Juventus Black vs (Away) Aztecs ...Field: Hebron HS</strong></p> <p style="text-align: left;">4:15 PM Texas Blitz Solar Navy LHS</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Notes:</p> <p style="text-align: left;">1.
