Final thoughts

At U12, the philosophy is for player development, not team wins. Having said that, all the girls on this team not only increased their skills, they learned how to play as a team, and by doing that successfully learned to win. Final record for the year: 25-3-1. 90 goals scored for and 23 against.
Those are VERY good statistics, and I hope you remember this soccer year for a long time.
All of you played an important part of this and once again I must say what a joy it was to coach you. A big thanks to Peter Saunders whose experience in coaching was invaluable, and Peter Eckards contributions including having our goalies properly trained and ready to go. I would also like to thank the parents who were so supportive as well. We fought hard to keep this team together, but understand the need for balanced teams at this age and thus are sorry to see Josee, Nat and Ravdeep leave us. We wish you three a successful year with Drew and Doug, but don't be surprised if you get a call for joing us at Timmys!
Cheers,
Collin

Big game win= Jamboree winner

What a way to finish the year! That was a very physical Vancouver team in an evenly matched back and forth game. Sophie made a couple of HUGE saves late, and Nat made a beauty bicycle kick and header to save a goal while we were up 4-3. We have played superior technical soccer during the year with better passing, but I don't think we have shown as much poise and toughness. I had some comments from our parents how they were feeling so nervous watching the game, but were amazed at how calm the team was. Your coaches are very proud of you!

West Van

We completely carried the play in the first half, but they battled back hard in the second.
The final result of 2-0 was indicative of the play, and was another well earned victory for us.

1 game left, lets finish up strong!!!

Nanaimo Academy

Great game! Up by one to start the game, followed by 2 quick goals by Nanaimo.
Then we got into our groove, and scored 4 unanswered goals. :)
Josee with the natural hat trick to boot!
