Coach Sean Notes (May 10, 2009)

Happy Mother's day to all

Thanks for your support this weekend i have had many kids messages and comments from people regarding our little team. It really is much appreciated, especially during weekends like this one we just had.

Obviously the results we got were not as expected, I apologize sincerely and i will assure you that i will have the team better prepared and in the correct mindset for next week. Not that they wernt this weekend, i think we just didnt get the rub of the green that you sometimes need. The fields again were of poor standard, im sure if it had been dry they would have been solid enough to play good soccer, they were muddy and just soft, which makes it hard for the kids. We rely on our speed and our actual soccer play. Not many teams can pass and run with the ball like us, but the field conditions slow down our legs and make dribbling with the ball a task!

I'm very sure our girls will come back stronger next week. I'm proud of them, they showed great team spirit in sticking together especially when the results werent going for us. Many of them showed how much passion and enthusiasm they had when they came of after the second game. I was proud of my girls! It almost made me tear up for them.

We have two weeks of our season left, where has it all gone? its been exciting so far and i'm sure theres going to be more excitement, stick with us. I'm hoping and praying for some flat, solid fields and some decent weather next week! Finally we may get some!

Looking into the flaws of our weekend, there arent many, we only conceeded four goals. Not bad really, i felt we could have stopped one or two, we had plenty of opportunities but for whatever reason didnt convert enough. On another weekend we could have had 10 goals to show for it. Put it this way, it would be alarming if we werent creating chances, but we are, and i'm counting down the days until we really put a beat down on someone! were threatening to do that!

I look forward to an exciting week of practice, a great challenge for me as a coach. These are the weeks we find out how good our coaches are, its going to be a test for me and my staff to pick up the girls and get them firing again! get them smiling and bring back that enthusiasm! I know its hard to loose! especially at their age. But were up for the challenge and excited to see how its going to pan out!

I look forward to seeing you all this week! Again thans for your continued support! it has been a great pleasure of mine to get to know you guys so far this year!
