Sharks Travel for 3v3 Tournament.

A group of your U8 Sharks will be traveling to Indianapolis today to compete in a 3v3 tournament.  The kids, Sam E, Sam A, Elizabeth, Jackson and Austin, were supposed to be playing in a U6 division but tournament organizers couldn't get enough teams for a full division of five year olds so they opted to blend some age groups together.  So, your littlest Sharks will once again be battling kids that are older and bigger than them.  The smaller field and rules of 3v3 should suit these kids though as this is a version of the game where the strategy is to always be shooting.  If you see the goal you shoot.  If you catch a little glimpse of the goal you shoot.  If you suspect you're headed in the general direction of the goal you shoot.  I think in this format the Sharks could surprise some of these older teams, especially if those teams make the mistake of trying to play a typical defense.

My advice to the Sharks then is to always be shooting and relax...play your own game...do what you know how to do.
