State Cup 1st round this week

We will travel to Lancaster this weekend for the State Cup 1st round. It's about 92 miles away from our home. We will play 3 games and the top 2 teams with 8 wildcard teams will qualify to next round. Our opponents will be Arsenal FC-S Red,  Saddleback United Warriors, and C. C. Condors

Good lessons for us

We lost both games on sunday. 11-0 against U11 champion and 5-0 against another U12 teams. I think it's a great lesson for us. We need to work harder to prepare for the State Cup which start at the end of January..

Lost our 1st game against Surf

We met Surf (U12) team this afternoon. All their players were much bigger than us. The tallest one was around 6'. It's tough to defend a team with big and strong kids. Majority of their goals were from the header. At the end, we lost 1-6 against them. However, we will able to give them a surprise early at the game and scored at 1:30 after the game started. We will able to hold them about 20 minutes until they scored to tie the game. We will play U11 Gold champion tomorrow morning at 8am. We need to work harder and see whether we can get a tie.Go to bed early tonight...

Legends Cup this week...

We will be playing up this week against U12 teams. I think it's because there is not enough U11 teams joining this tournament. We will be facing 2 - U12 teams and a U11 team - LA Samba. They are all very very good team. The U11 team is the current Gold Champion. We will probably get beat pretty bad this weekend. Hopefully my teammates and me will work hard and fight against these good teams.

Practice resume...

Practice resumed yesterday. After the practice, we all received our assessment for the past season. The comments that I got from the coach was that "I'd like to see Joseph get his fitness up so he can run all over the field and be an enforcer out there with his size. He is very good on the ball when he stays strong." Dad laughed at me and said "I told you!" I think I need to work harder and eat more to build up my fitness....
