Just a quick update on the season so far…

BJ’s team the Sounders are once again the team to beat.  They have pretty much pwnd all the games except the game with the Blue Thunder.  That team has been the only team to challenge us to date and actually won the game.  But they only scored because our goalie was out of position and it was a close game that could have gone either way.

BJ has scored in 4 of 6 games with a total of 4 and is currently the 3rd top scorer for the team.  That’s pretty good especially since most of our boys would be the number 1 player on an average team.

Christian’s team on the other hand has had a tough season so far.  They are clearly out matched with opponents this year.  While these teams have improved and worked on passing, dribbling, getting into position and scoring, the Red Dragon’s have reverted from the improvements they made last year.

Simple things like dribbling and passing are non-existent.  Kids are always out of position and most of them don’t even put any effort to get the ball.  Most of the time they are waiting for a teammate to do something or they kick the ball to open space with nobody on their side to pass to.

It’s been really frustrating to watch their team play games this year.  Especially since I’ve been coaching the Sounders and seeing the opposite mentality with our players.  Although we have our share of problems in getting 6 and 7 year olds focusing in practice.

Christian’s team won their first game of the season this past weekend and you’d think they won the championship after the game.  They were jumping for joy and couldn’t stop celebrating!  I was really happy to for them…Hopefully it won’t be their only win.

The season is half over and hope to see you all at their games soon.

Both boys are playing soccer again this Fall.  Christian is again on the Red Dragons wearing #1 and BJ (Brandon) is on the Sounders this year wearing #5.  I’m helping coach the power house Sounders this season who demolished all the competition last year.  The schedules are on upper right hand side of the blog.

Christian’s team is 0 for 3 games so far and the outlook doesn’t look optimistic as they’ve been put in the tougher bracket this season.

BJ’s team pounded the other teams in their first 2 games.  But actually lost their first game against a team that matched up pretty well.  The other teams goals happened because our players were out of position.

I’ll try to post some video in the next couple of weeks.  Stay tuned.

On another note, Alyson’s music class was cancelled due to low enrollments.  In fact, Alyson was the only enrollment.
