Our first update of the Spring Season!

I first want to say how much fun me and coach Andrea are having, coaching the boys. It was fun to get most of the kids back and our two new players (TJ and Justin) are just awesome kids and they fit right in!

Saturday's Game

Our first game of the season was a tough one. This is partly because it was our first game and we didn't get a chance to scrimmage with another team prior, but I thought the boys played their hearts out and we're very proud of them! The team we played was really good, came better prepared to play, and their ball movement was amazing! I could be wrong but my gut feeling is that they were a U8 Academy team playing rec for the Spring season, but playing up a year. They were both experienced and well coached! I would love to play them again a little further into the season, after we've played a few games. As we continue to practice and play more games, we'll get into a better rhythm and we'll play much better. Overall, the boys were awesome!

This Weeks Practices

I don't know how many open shots we had in that game, that we missed, but if we would have hit just two more of them, we would have tied or won that game. So...we'll be working on goal shots and offense on Tuesday. Wednesday, we'll be reviewing these things and we'll also work on positions (fielding), ball movement & we'll do a refresher on defense.

Red Baron Blog

I've updated our team blog. It's got our new team picture, our game/snack schedule, the official league schedule (with maps to the fields), our game rules, etc. Please find our blog at http://cwredbarons.blogspot.com. Also, did anyone get pictures of our first game or any of our practices? If so, please email them to me or I can share our dropbox file with you, so you can drop them in there. I like to share these pictures with everyone on our blog and everyone has the ability to download any pictures they want to keep.

Upcoming Game (next Saturday)

Next Saturday's game is at Danielson Field (11am) and it's against the North Dragons. The North Dragons took third place in Division 1 last Fall. So...we've got our work cut out for us but I know we can compete with these guys!

Thanks everyone!
