New Players and First Game

Things are looking good for the first game on Sunday. First of all, we picked up five new players.

Jarib joined us from the U-13 team to add a punch in the offence. He played a few games in the winter tournament and scored some goals and sent a beautiful assist to Dario.

I have a card for Jarib so he can play on Sunday.

Brandon started joining the team during the winter training and is coming along nicely with a new sport. He is a natural athlete.

Nayef joined us near the end of the winter training and has shown himself to be skillful on both the field and as a backup goalie.

I don't yet have a card for Nayef but I am working with the USClubSoccer and Northern Counties Soccer club to get one so he can play on Sunday. He will certainly be able to play the following game.
Latest news: I have a card for Nayef so he can play on Sunday.

Ned is Nayef's younger brother who is playing up because the younger team is full and it's more convenient for his mother.

I have a card for Ned so he can play on Sunday.


And today we met Freddy who had been practicing with the U11 team all fall and winter, only to find out that he missed the cutoff by 3 weeks and should have been playing with us. He shows great defensive instincts. (Don't have his picture yet)


I don't yet have a card for Freddy but once we get their forms in we will get that. He will certainly be able to play the following game. Freddy says he'd like to watch the game on Sunday to learn about the team.

Could someone bring a camera tomorrow and we'll take a new team picture for the front page of this website?

Regarding Sunday's game, please bring the boys 45 minutes in advance of the game. Also, I'm thinking it might be nice to take the boys out to eat after the game. That will give us all a chance to meet each other, give the boys some bonding time off the pitch, allow me to bring up a few things I need to discuss about the team and allow you to ask any questions you may have. Please vote to the left about whether or not this works for you. Meanwhile, I'll research a place near the game that could easily accommodate us.
