The
Torpedoes soccer club has invited Pre K Kickers to lend its expertise
to Wyckoff's up-and-coming talent. Pre K Kickers is now responsible for
training U7 Torpedoes to prepare them for competitive play. Although
this is the first season with Pre K Kickers, they have managed to pique the interest of many participants. Pre K Kickers intends to provide advanced training to the Torpedoes group,
who are potential U8 town players for the fall season. This training will place Torpedoes players at the top of their class, resulting in a strong, first playing season.

The final games for the Kickers 3v3 League Session 2 took place at Parisi Speed School, and consisted of great, even match-ups. Tottenham played Manchester United in a surprising, offensive game, scoring more goals than in all of their regular-season games. Tottenham fired things up right away with striker, Seth (Scholesy) up top with Zach, a power-shooter. Daniel, Jack, and Jake held down the defense for most of the time, and tore things up when rotated to the front. Their determination for a win led them to victory and a gratifying way to complete the season.
Fulham met QPR in the second match while Liverpool battled Norwich City for third place. All children played their best games during these finals by scoring many goals, avoiding fouling, and setting up strong defense. The championship game, however, was the game to watch, between the fiery Manchester City and the intrepid West Ham.
To West Ham's surprise, Man City would end up being a worthy opponent. Manchester City held it together in the first half, despite missing a key older player. Carter, Brody, Jake, Cole, and Mia put up a good fight by delivering constant pressure to the West Ham boys. West Ham knew they had to give it all they had and went off on crossing and shooting during the second half of the game. Elliott played the ball not once, but twice, to Kyle from the touch line, crossing the ball down the field on a 45 degree angle, to set Kyle up for beautiful, yet tricky shots into the upper 90. Valentin, Rafael, Rocco, and James made moves on Man City, working together to maintain an impermeable triangle of defense at all times. By the end, West Ham led by a number of goals, but still, the game was entertaining and full of action.
Congratulations to West Ham for taking first place in this league, and for participating in the first 3v3 league session, as well. Best of luck to all players this spring and next fall!
