Excited for the Season

It has been a change for me this season thus far. I have worked with the older OESA players and high school players in the past and now I am with the YDA. It has been a transition for the better and I feel myself becoming a stronger coach every week. I thoroughly enjoy the "little ones" and look forward to working with them. They always bring a smile to my face with their actions and words. Their commitment to the game is more than apparent and the competition is real. Keep it up.

I am especially proud of the U-10 Navy Boys team. This past weekend we showed up with 5 players and took it to Middletown. They played amazing! Max and JG were all over the field, taking people on, and putting the ball in the net. Joe K. was the strong force on defense. Austin came up with key goalie saves. Jake took the ball the length of the field and almost scored from the goalie position! Truly Awesome! More importantly, the kids did not complain once of being tired or upset. They showed a great deal of character and got the job done.

It really has been a pleasure thus far and I look forward to having similar experiences with other teams.
