Game One!

2007/8 u12B Gold SEASON

1 2

Coach Mario filed the following game report at Braefoot Soccer Central:

A very physical match played on the fast Hampton Turf with no Super8 Goalie markings. While the boys did not have all 8 cylinders working together they did get the victory...

We think that means another mechanics course is scheduled for the next team practice!

8 cylinders on the field!!

... guess that's why they call it 'Super8' ;)

(above) Mario said 'straight backs lads'four more good substitute cylinders on the bench waiting to be inserted into the game! when the u12Bs are running the concession [as a fundraiser] Peter better be buying his coffee from the LakeHill concession stand!

Mario+Peters 'lads' played their third pre-season exhibition this time 'at home' against one of the two BaysU Gold teams. BaysU had a talented #7 but the LakeHill boys proved to have learned from the weekend exhibitions and combined well to add more scoring in this one game than in their previous two games combined! Great efforts lads! PS: Don't forget Peters homework assignment is due tomorrow we will posting the better reports on-line so check your spelling!

Pre-season 'tests'

Good game #9!
Goals did happen in this match even if the offside rule was bent a bit. Reminder to everyone that in LISA league action the offside rule is only in the final third of the field but you can't always expect a ref to make "the call" so don't give them the opportunity.. know your field position and that of your opponents! PLSC had some good 'set pieces' today they just came short of the top shelf on two occassions but the LakeHill Keeper kept the cabinet shut on these PLSC opportunities!

Lakehill had a 'deep' bench as the coaches used the weekend games for some final assessments.

'letting your opponent know you are there'

#7 and #17

where the PLSC players of the match ! You sure couldn't call it a friendly, the lads played with somefire in their bellies...maybe an "exhibition" is the better term!hmm, #7 has dry hair..

For coaches Peter and Mario the two weekend matches vs two of the better squads in u12B Gold where intended as another in a series of tests to determine how the lads need to be coached. Coaching for fitness, for skills and game day strategy.

PLSC has some new unis this season!

The Sunday match met with more of Coach Mario's approval when compared to the Saturday match. Peninsula is probably 'the' squad this season! Mario and Peters job is to make 'the lakehill lads' *THE* u12B Gold squad by the time the season concludes! reminder that practices are not optional and if you are going to be late or unable to attend it is your job as a player (not your parents'!) to ensure Mario and Peter are aware of your inability to attend!

well done coaches!(hmm, Matteo has a very clean jersey.. 'tide' or 'sunlight' ;)

Pre-season "Tune up time" at Braefoot!

Does anyone see Coach Pasta?
the co-trainer is putting the lads thru their paces in another taxing training session, these boys love it and refuse to go home after a 90 minute session!
The lakehill '96 lads got skills!

The 'kit' is ready for this weekends two exhibitions matches !

"You'll never walk alone"

'football' culture is very rich! And one of the cathedrals of the sport is Anfield where Liverpool FC play. The highlight of any visit is hearing the Liverpool anthem sung by the teams supporters. Click here for a 1minute video hosted at youTube.

Check your boots...

Do they still fit? Are they tight?

Time to check before the season begins!

Sequim Invitational ...

Coach Mario and his team of 36 players and parents walked onto the MV Coho with his 'u12B Crew' on August 26th for a day of 'full field' action in Sequim, Washington!
A fun day was had by all at Agnew Field just outside of Sequim! Thanks to our hosts: Pete, Tom and Dave! we look forward to having the Sequim lads up at Braefoot Field this season!

This was the second 'exchange' between our two clubs as the LakeHill u12G's played the previous weekend also in Sequim (August 19th).

Photos to follow!

Quiz:

School is on summer holiday but Coach Mario is giving the boys a "pop-quiz"... who can tell him what famous English soccer club once had this uniform (known as a 'kit')?

Click on this link for an encyclopedia of all known English and Scottish premier teams for their historical uniforms from the 1800s till today!

We will post the correct answer here next week!
