Impressive performance: Lions 9 - Cheetahs 9

Image
  Brendan shaved a ball  Our second match against Cheetahs was awesome. We should have won the match, but our team ran out of energy. They came hard at us and the back was open-wide for them to score. Toward the end of the 2nd half, we were up by 4 points. They scored four points to equalize.  We also missed four golden opportunities because of timing and fatigue. On Thursday, we'll work on our next strategy to win the match. Remember, this is not about winning. The other coach may think that way, but I don't share that view. I want you all to touch the ball; I want you play and enjoy because, after all, your parents paid a lot of money to put you in this legal. So, it's all about you.  See you all on Thursday.  Coach Johnny AJ, Ethan, Brendan, and Isaiah in action against Cheetahs

Line up for Saturday 3rd Match

  Our line-up for Saturday  Strikers  Brian and Hunter Midfield/Defense Ethan - Ajzon - Bryce  Keeper  Brendan T Brian and Hunter will be our front attackers for the first few minutes. They will start the ball by passing the ball to each other, and run the ball down and score it.  Ethan will defend the left wing and support the strikers. Bryce will defend the right wing and supports the strikers. Then he will drop back and defend goal area.  AJ is the mid-fielder. He will back up the strikers then drops back and defends the keeper. Don't stand in one area. Move around field, but always drop back and defend your keeper.  The Keeper's job is to ensure the ball doesn't go into the net. He and the three defenders must work together to stop all attempts by the other team players to score.  If a striker from the other team is heading toward our goal post with the ball, two people must go up against him or her to make sure her chances of scoring a goal are greatly reduced.  Throw
