I hope everyone is having as much fun as me and Catherine. As you can probably see, I love to coach and we've got a great group, both players and parents. This season is going to be so much fun!
Last Saturday's Game
Our game last Saturday went pretty well. Although we didn't score any goals, I saw a huge improvement between the first and second half. The girls were catching on and they played their very best soccer toward the end of the game. A scrimmage with another team, before our first game, would have been beneficial but we didn't get a chance to do that, so this was really the first opportunity this season for the girls to play in a real game.
Practices
At this age, I strongly believe in fun first. If the girls are having fun, they'll want to come back, want to continue to play and they're willing to learn. We typically play games that build skills but I'll occasionally throw a game of Duck-Duck-Goose in there because the girls absolutely love it. It's also a great game to bribe the girls with. :-) I think the girls are doing really well in practice but if you're there watching and the girls get a little crazy (not listening, picking up other girls, throwing dirt, etc.) I'd really appreciate it if you can help out where needed.
This Saturday's Game (4/25/15)
This weeks game is at the same time (9:00am) at the same field (Doc Harris). Please have the girls there by 8:45am for warm-up. Also, we're the visiting team so we should be blue. Always bring both colors, just in case. And...Alexa's family is scheduled to bring our drink/snack this week.
Team Blog
Our blog is all updated and ready to go. I've added our team game & snack schedule, our game schedule (with field location maps), pictures, and I'll hopefully be adding regular updates. Please visit it and register to be a member or for email updates. cwtriumph.blogspot.com Also, please keep the pictures and videos coming. I'll add them to the blog as I get them.
Thanks everyone!
