Today is the first day of the Fairborn Tournament. Eight matches over two days. It was supposed to only be four over two days, but they had an extra spot open and we took it.
The kids did pretty well, but the same issues that we have faced in the past keep coming up, too much individual play, too little team play, poor spacing.
Goalkeeping will be an issue, only one experienced kid in the program. I guess that helps the varsity, but not seeing any real possibilities at the JV level without hurting the overall field play.
Of the younger kids one small guy, lots of heart, but he will have to play very intelligently. Two definite pylons, they are going to take some real work. The rest just raw in relation to what it will take to play high school soccer.
