Everyone came back with a tan and more experience from the weekend. Oh yeah and a great time. It was fun watching the kids get so excited just sit with each other at meal times, being able to walk to the pool together, you felt their excitement and their special bond with each of their teammates.
Our 14 & Under boys (plus Santana and Mary) had two very hard games in their bracket, their 1st game they made so many mistakes and took good shot selection but bad placement shots. Their second game they played better but lost both games on Sat. Sunday they played two more games and won both their games and placed 7th.
The 12 & Under boys (plus Hannah, Laura, Al) won both their games on Sat against the Anteaters (Former Newport players) and CHAWP's which put our team in the top three. Games on Sunday: We played Los Al and Orange County. We lost both games but played a great game against Orange County and the team took home the Third place Trophy.
The little ones: 10 & Under Mixed as usual was awesome. They won both their games on Sat which put them into the top three and won all their games on Sunday... taking home the First Place Trophy.
Here are my selections for most improved from this tournament: 14's: Noland and Derek 12's: Andre and Sky 10's: Molly as goalie, Aaron on defense, Mia and Chloe getting aggressive.
Things teams will be working on: 10's body position on defense. 12's legs, head up, catching and passing. 14's playing with more intensity.
