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!

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...
