First game

It was a great game today and I really liked what I saw on the field and on the sideline.
On the field:
lots of passes, players finding each other and moving the ball down the field to take shots (and score).
I saw a lot of nice stops by defenders and great passes to the midfielders and forwards.
Great run by mid fielders and good passing.
Nice shots on the cross bar, just outside the goal and of course in the net.

Goal keepers were not busy but did what they had to do.

This is really a good first game and I think the foundations are in place to build a great team.

Reminder: on a free kick we have to do a wall and cover other players. Goal keepers have to place the wall, defenders/midfielders have to cover players or be part of the wall.

On the sideline:
a lot of players hungry to go back and play more and more. It was heart breaking to pull two players off the field but that's part of the game. Play fairplay.

We'll try to do longer scrimmages next week to compensate the lack of play today and the lack of a game on Saturday next week.
