I was really looking forward to this game as I knew that Coach Townsend's Strikers have turned out to be the strongest team in the division. Of course strong is a relative term and the Strikers may in fact be the strongest soccer team in U4 or they may be the team with the strongest desire to give up soccer and try Rugby. Anyway, I was hoping for a good game where all of our Tigers would get to see a team in action that gets the basic concept of the game and, hopefully, the Tigers would follow their lead and start to really play. When so many of our players showed themselves to be ready to go in pre-game warm ups I was even more excited about how this game might go. I imagined Austin, Bennett and Jenna switching it on and showing the rest of the Tigers how to really get down. And then the start of the game came and it was something else altogether. But it was progress. The big highlight was Hunter showing up ready to play. He's got great moves already and has obviously learned a lot from his big brother. The whole team practiced well and eventually they will put it all together and begin to play the game in spurts. This is how it goes.
