Chudleigh’s 1
Fifth Wheel 6
Our Under 7 soccer team (TEAM CHUDLEIGHS) played its first soccer game tonight against Fifth Wheel over at Kinsmen park. The result wasnt what we wanted but they did play a great game. The final score was 6-1 but at the half we were only down by one goal. Just before the first half was over our team had a breakaway and Matthew took the ball down the field and scored. The referee however, blew her whistle just as Team Chudlieghs heading past mid field. No one heard the whistle and the goal didnt count.
I personally think the kids played a great game, especially for it being quite hot and the first game of the season. At the end of the game as the kids were packing up and getting ready to go home, I asked the all important question “Did everyone have fun?” and 12 kids all in unision yelled out “YAAAAAAAAA”.
Mission Accomplished. Nothing puts a bigger smile on your face when you hear, that despite the big difference in the score, they still had fun! Isnt that the whole point?
I think I like this coaching thing.
I’ll see you on the field.
