The U19 girls got off to a flying start with two wins on the opening day of the Athens Invitational. First game resulted in a 4-0 victory followed by a 3-0 victory. The 2nd day of the tournament produced a more challenging task for the girls. After falling 2 goals down in the 1st half to Georgia FC they were able to fight back in the 2nd half to finish the game 2-2, which clinched a spot in the finals. In the final, the girls again fell behind to a goal midway through the first half but pulled one back just before halftime to tie the game up. Early in the second half they got the go ahead goal and displayed a superb defensive stance against the Alliance attack to secure a final victory. Special congratulations to the girls for an outstanding performance.

The U10 boys came into the tournament with a lot to prove to themselves. With many new faces to the group, Coach Suber wanted the boys to strive to do their best. They played Madison, CFC, & Griffin in round robin play & won 2 out of 3 matches. They were able to advance to the championship game against Madison & won 4-2. Coach Suber said after the game, "I was impressed with the boys ability to take on the challenge, put forth the effort, stay resilient during the tough times, remain focused, and make key plays in all the games to help us become champions!" Great job boys!

Is too much importance placed on winning at the 6-12 age groups at the expense of individual development? US Soccer believes so and they are proposing changes. They are concerned that coaches overly emphasize teaming players as opposed to helping players have fun and develop individual skills. The organization wants young players to have fun and to express themselves. They want players to learn in an environment that contains smaller sides and smaller pitches.
