The Season So Far
We're off to a great start! We've got two games under our belt now and I can already see the girls improving in both personal and team skills! We played a strong game last Saturday, smoke and all, and although the game ended in a tie, we were able to hold the other team to zero goals and we were so close to scoring a few times. It felt like we had possession of the ball for a majority of the game.
Going Forward
This week we'll continue working on our offense, striking on the goal and the goalie position. We went into the first game without a goalie. Catherine has really stepped up and filled that spot for us but our goal is to give some of the other players experience in this spot and allow Catherine to move up and play some defense or forward. One thing we've worked on is how to throw the ball up the field and I've asked the girls to practice this at home. Please ask them to show you how a goalie cradles and throws the ball.
Upcoming games
They will be putting the rest of our game schedule together soon, after they see how everyone's doing. We could get moved up to the top bracket, down to the third, or we could stay in position #2. My guess is that we'll stay put. As soon as they get the rest of the schedule out, we'll get the snack schedule updated and posted to the blog. Please remember to always look at the official schedule, also posted on the blog, to make sure there haven't been any game changes. Remind friends and grandparents to do the same, so they don't miss a game or show up at the wrong place, at the wrong time. Ugh, I've done that before!
Thanks,
Coach Ben
