Day 1 is complete with the only hitch made by myself ultimately costing my team a chance to tie our game. I called the game with 5 minutes remaining totally messing up our chances. Oh well, it just reinforces the old saying, "players win games and coaches lose them."We had some great games, lots of enthusiasm from both the parents and the players! Way to go.
Burnsville -----6pts--- 1W------ 1L------ 3GS------ 3GA
Eden Prairie--- 5pts-- 1W------ 0L----- 1GS------ 0GA
Edina----------- 5pts ---1W -----1L----- 2GS -----2GA
Bangu--------- 1pt -----0W------ 1L----- 1GS----- 2GA
Tournament Scoring: 3pts for a win, 1 pt for tie, 1 pt for each goal up to 3 and 1 point for each shutout.
We found the trophy. It's great fun and a good humored trophy. After all soccer should be fun, right? We also have coordinated ice cream cakes for every team as an end of tournament thank you for participating. After the 3rd place game, ice cream will be served in the conference room from 3:15-4:00 and after the 1st place game there will be another ice cream cake for both teams to share from 4pm to 4:35
I've told my players that I always played my heart out against every team. I was a fierce competitor but once I crossed the line to come off the field I was best friends with all of them and would go out after the game and have a good time with the same players I was pushing and pulling. I try to reinforce that with my girls as much as possible so I hope they all enjoy the ice cream afterwards. So thank you, and we'll see you on the pitch!
