GIRL POWER GOES A LONG WAY

Sunday, February 26, 2012
Parisi Speed School, Morris Plains, NJ

The four U8 Girls teams proved that big things come in small packages yesterday at the 3v3 soccer tournament in Morris Plains.  
Bridgewater BSA Rage took on the local Lady Kickers (Pre K Kickers), Morris Plains SC, and Morristown's Pretty Girl Rock.  Although the three latter teams had younger and smaller players on them, they truly proved that the size of the person does NOT determine the size of her heart.  
The Lady Kickers and Morris Plains SC fought through each and every game with everything they had, fighting the bigger girls off with defensive tactics.  Pretty Girl Rock made it to the finals against BSA, putting faith in their coach to guide them to victory.  It was BSA, though, who played mercilessly until the end, winning the championship title.

Favorite Quote of the Match:
Girl from BSA to Coach of Lady Kickers: "Your team looks good.  I like them."
Coach of Lady Kickers: "So you're gonna go easy on us?"
Girl from BSA: "Nope!"

Good girl!

CLOSE MATCHES FOR CLOSE FRIENDS



Monday, February 20th, 2012.  Cedar Knolls, NJ.

The Pre K Kickers President's Day Tournament turned out to be an exciting off-of-school activity for players and parents.  The children were split up into four teams of six for this 4V4 tournament- Teams Colombia, Croatia, England, and USA.  Although most children played with great passion, the tournament was non-competitive, and scores were not kept.  It was clear, however, who dominated the goal-scoring- Team Croatia, headed by Coach Kevin.  This superstar team was made up of the first ever Pre K Kickers- Connor Stokoe, Carter Kielbania, Jake Miller, and our other Veterans- Joe Armento, Alex Brandon, and Kyle Miluzzo.


Thanks to all of the other players and coaches who participated in this fun and fast-paced tournament!
