Game 7 vs. The Woodstocks

Our Fireballs had a tough time getting through the players on the Woodstocks team today.  It seemed like we were playing mostly defense. Our Fireballs fought hard to try to get the ball away from the Woodstocks and attempt to score but the Woodstocks were relentless.  Fortunately either we wore them down or the Woodstock Coach gave us a break (distracted his players) and we were finally able to score some goals in the last quarter.  We had two more players on our team score goals for the first time!  A goal is a goal... especially when it's a first for a player!

Game 6 vs.Green Sharks

It was a challenging day on the field for our Fireballs.  Although the other team only had 6 players, they had some bigger sized kids on their team that made it much more difficult for our Fireballs to score.  Although we were only able to get one goal in the net, our Fireballs fought hard to get the ball to our goal.  There were moments on the field where the ball didn't seem to move because there were about 8 pairs of legs trying to get it through the other legs.  A few sign of improvements: more of our players were running back on defense to stop the other team from scoring; they were calling for the ball on throw ins and goal kids; and even though there was a wall of opponents to try to get the ball past, our players stuck to it and kept trying to get the ball to our goal!

Game 5 vs. Green Beetle Bugs

Today's match up against the Green Beetle Bugs started off with their team only having 5 players.  We were fortunate to have all 9 of our players present again.  Our Fireballs scored more than a handful of goals from which 4 different players contributed, a new record for our team.  The Green Beetle Bugs had a few players who made it challenging for our Fireballs, which made it a close match up and a fun game to watch and cheer!

Game 4 vs. Purple Pirates

This was our first game with all 9 players present.  The Purple Pirates had no chance against our Fireballs as our kids dominated on the field.  We even split up the team with boys and girls (with a constant boy defender ;-) and our Fireballs still lit up the goal!  As a sign of our good sportsmanship, Coach Leon even attempted to distract our players to help the Purple Pirates have the field to themselves so that they could score!  What a fun day for our kids as they were not pressured much by their opponents!
