U9 Alexandria Strikers Red vs. U9 SYA Cardinals White

10/3/10

SYA Complex

1:30 p.m.

Today, we put together a good effort against which a team we found room to move the ball. Unfortunately, a lull in the second half saw us lose concentration and give up a few goals. I think are continuing to show improvement and are learning to play as a team. Improvement from game to game will not be a linear process due to the quality of opposition, field conditions, etc.; however, I do see continuous strides by players to make good decisions on the field and not revert to simply kicking the ball up the field. I'm proud that the players are trying to play good soccer; it will help them greatly in the long run. As the learn to adjust to making good passes and try to play out of pressure, there certainly will be mistakes. However, I applaud these attempts as signs of personal player development since they tried to use their teammates. I hope they continue to coalesce as a group and start to move the ball even better around the field.

Coach Ryan
