CLOSE COMPETITION FOR THE KICKER CREW

Sunday, January 22, 2012, Randolph, NJ
The Kicker Crew had a great experience at last weekend's Boys U7 3V3 Tournament.  The competition was, for the most part, pretty even, which gave Pre K Kickers a better chance to score more goals.  In the end, Stevan Patino, Jake Bell, Alex Brandon, and Matthew O'Flynn made their coach very proud with 2 ties and 1 win.  Although this was a "non-competitive" tournament, the hard work and passion was evident.
It was another great opportunity for the Kicker Crew to learn from other talented teams- SDFC Santos, Montville, Florham Park Celtics, and the Chatham Kickers.
Let's get ready for the next big tournament in February!

PRE K KICKERS PLAY UP WITH PRIDE

January 15, 2012, Randolph, NJ
The Kicker Crew came together once again this past weekend to take third place in the U9 Girls 3V3 Tournament.  The majority of the team played up two levels this week, against some very talented girl's rec and travel teams.  Coach Ken directed the Kickers along a very structured and logical method of play, resulting in a well-battled tournament for the 6 and 7 year-olds.  Their team work and individual skill showed great improvement since last week, leaving them in the middle of the pack.  Not bad for the little guys (and girl).


The Kicker Crew prepares for next weekend's tournament against U7 Boys.

KICKER CREW COMPETES with CONFIDENCE



Competition was high and the talent was great.
Pre K Kickers' Kicker Crew participated in the 3V3 Boys U8 soccer tournament hosted by Short Sided Soccer this past weekend.  They played [slightly] up a level with confidence and determination.  The five stars who played for the team, Stevan Patino, Alexander Brandon, Matthew O'Flynn, Amir Ayaz, and Ricardo Zegarra, played to the best of their ability, given that this is not the team they usually play for.  They all participate in rec leagues or receive special training from Pre K Kickers staff.  Although the Montville Gladiators took home the Gold, the Kicker Crew were pleased with their performance and enjoyed the experience.
Needless to say, this will be the first of many 3V3 tournaments for the Kicker Crew...
