April 26th U5

This was a very good game for us. We had goals from Nate, Owen and Camden. The goal by Camden was especially sweet as he had to fight his way through a crowd. Good stuff. I was also really impressed by the effort I saw from Luke. He ran hard and made some good defensive stops. Kendra, McKenzie and Maddie were also keen to get to the ball, at least at kick-offs. Karolyn is still warming to the game. No worries. Her brother, Kaleb, did his usual solid job as goalie for us.
You may have noticed that the other team had two or three really strong players and that they didn't always face our most experienced team. Going the other way, when I had Nate and Owen on the field they weren't always facing the other team's best lineup.
I spoke to the other coach after the game and next time we play we'll be sure to arrange our lineups so as to give our experienced players a chance to compete against each other and to give our newer players the space to get a better feel for the game.
Thanks to the Schwartz's for the snack.
See you Tuesday.
