Coach Sean Notes (April 18, 2009)

Hi Danger fans

another great week of practice this week has built on our recent progress, i pushed the girls hard, challenged them mentally and physically, i wanted them to become stronger, and alot more competetive, we worked on our weaknesses which were penetrating the opposition and moving into dangerous areas with a more positive attitude.

We were boosted with having Riley and Sophie back with us but had a few knocks during the week thanks to Physical education at school, Gracie Clayton had to drop out during thursdays practice and im sure you all join me in wishing her a speedy recovery.

The u12 Danger played today, and thanks to a flu bug and some other issues had 6 players missing, this gave me the opportunity to bring Giovanna and Sophie along, Gio had the opportunity to play with family (Katie Owen) , which i think is a great experience while also having her learn even more about her leadership role within our club, which i think she definatley did. Sophie needed minutes after her injury for us to have her at her optimum best. While both girls managed at least half a game in both games they both put in outstanding performances playing against girls 2 years and 3 feet taller. Sophie had a few dazzling runs at the defence who seemed twice as tall she also got an assist for a goal, she looked very lively and a definate goal threat. While Giovanna was her usual tough tackling self, she managed to knock a 6 foot tall girl on the ground in a 50/50 challenge, i couldnt help but be proud of my little heroes!

this week we have pictures on tuesday our girls will be in white shrts, red shorts and white socks, the older girls will join us while we will take individual and team pictures with a big group one also! we will scrimmmage each other after that. Thursday is obviously the fish fry, i may have a double session with both teams practicing together. as i know its going to be a hectic time for everyone.

have a great weekend!

Coach Sean
