What a game!! The balls were flying so fast in both directions I could not keep track. It was very evenly matched and all the kids played a great game of soccer. Connor stepped up with some great ball handling and defense. He managed to drive that ball down the field with amazing control and took some excellent shots. Avery really charged the ball and got aggressive. You may have even heard a growl or two out of her, something we worked on in practice. Conall did a terrific job really going after the ball and not waiting for it to come to him. We’ve been working on that in practice and it paid off. Riley did a fantastic job of driving the ball down field and taking shot after shot at goal. Gabby did a great job at defense and really taking control of the ball from the opposing team. Also, what a recovery after taking a pretty hard shot to the head - WOW was I impressed! Drake did a great job sitting with his teammates and watching the game as well as playing a bit in the first half. We continue to get him more actively involved without forcing him. Lauren was an exceptional ball handler at the game. Nice controlled kicks and good hustle down field. Great game everyone!
The blanket on the field was a big success. It worked great to keep all the kids together as they paid attention to the game when not in play. Let’s do it again next week!
Big thanks to coach Mark for running his heart on the field while I yelled instructions from the sidelines – just two more weeks hopefully!
