"PLAY AS A TEAM. TRUST AND BELIEVE IN YOUR TEAMMATES."
Note Form Coach: The season has come to an end. We are proud of the hard work these girls put forth this year. We have come a long way this year and you should be proud of your girls and their hard work as well. This was a team that was made up of many different skill levels in the start with 7 girls that had never played travel soccer before. We also had a small core of girls that played up from U9 to give us enough to field a team in the start. Then we added 3 players in the spring to our team as well. With all that we improved from day one, and played as a team. The girls became great friends and had fun at all times. We had some great games this year, and I feel our best play came tournament time when we played "our" style of soccer. Many of the teams we played in our league wanted to play "kick and chase" which is good for scoring goals, but poor for the development of soccer players/teams down the road. Once teams get older and you incorporate positions such as a stopper, that style of soccer goes away. True development at the younger ages is to develop confidence and ball control which we did better that any team we played. I hope your kids had a great time this past year, and hope they continue to develop in the years to come.
