Good morning everyone,

We had very busy weekend and glad to see players improving during first part of the season individually and as a team. 

I am looking forward to reminding of the season we have very talented bunch of players that want to learn and work hard.

Friday night boys played outstanding. I ask them to set up in 2v1v2v1 system play in their positions and work as one. All of them did exactly what was need it and we got good result.

FSA couldn't break us down all game. Goals they score was mental mistake we made (not stepping in front of the ball on free kick that they took and scored and last second corner kick not stepping up and blocking shot from outside box). We will learn for next time and continue to be menially tough for all 50 minutes of the game.

Saturday was nice to be outside and play against talented opponent. Boys did very good job sharing the ball making some great combination plays and scoring 5 very nice goals. We will work on our defensive shape and how to get better once we go outside again with training but overall good performance from all players.

Sunday first half wasn't good. FSA out run as everywhere in the field, we are always second to the ball, not strong enough on 50-50 tackles and on 1v1 defending. Second half boys played with urgency , give good effort and won that period 2-0 it was just little to late to get back into the game.

We are having 2 weeks off from training due to our club annual Christmas break. We are back to training ground on Monday January 2nd.

Boys should stay active and do some running on their own in next two weeks. FSA schedule for session 2 will be posted sometimes next week once is posted we will inform you about it.

THANK YOU for great Christmas Card and Gift card to one of my favorite restaurants!!!!!!!!

We will have evaluation 1v1 google meet meetings on Tuesday January 3rd and Wednesday January 4th in the evening.

One parent and child should be present on this meetings. Links for google meet meetings will be send on the day of the meeting to each family.

Good morning,

Boys should do better this weekend when come to results but this weekend.

We played great at moments and than we showned inconsistence and luck of believe that transfer to us making mistakes that cost as to lose or tie games.

First game against Green Warriors we should win by 3 goals they are just kicking and runing team and at moents we adjust to that style of play and play same soccer as them. That team should never be close in the game with us but in the end we tied them 1-1.

Second game against Boston Bolts we dominate game for 55 minutes had 4-1 lead but than colapse in 10 minutes and somehow lost the game 5-4.

Last game against Oakwood boys played great until we had energy had 1-0 lead and got few more chances to take bigger lead but again made 2 mistakes later in the first half that good teams will always punish us with the goals. Second half we defend for most of the time and lost energy in last 10 minutes when they score last two goals .

We know what we need to work on and get better and with more time togehter as a team and some new players coming in we will get there very soon

This week we train Tuesday 5-6:30pm and Friday 5-6:15pm

Last game of the season will be this Saturday June 3rd at 9am against Juventus . Be at field 8:30am Ashland High school 64 Esst Union street Ashland MA. Let me and Maggie know if you are NOT able to be there for training or game this weekend.

Following week we will only train Tuesday and Friday 5pm (most likely we will have together pizza party with girls 09 team that dayJune 9th.)

Good morning,

Fantastic weekend for our boys. I am so proud of each of them for giving everything they had and to finaly start to lose up and play team soccer with a lot of confidence. Saturday game against Juventus they look hungrier than us in first half we played not motivated to go forward and only chances we had was free kick or corner kicks. After going 2-0 we start to wake up and with little change of formation we put them in lot of pressure and where able to score 3 nice goals to get back and win the game.

Yesterday game same things happened we start very slow not interested to play soccer and went down 3-1 in the first half against team that we are much better. Our focus wasn't at the game we play with hearts but not with brain.

After talking to them in halftime and expressing what we looking for them to do they come out on fire and scored 4 great second half goals. Nico Monarca bring us in the game with two nice shoots outside the box after that they lost all confidence in the world and was just questions how many more goals we will score.

Very imortant two W's for boys to lift  confidence of the team before this weekend tournament.

Schedule this week for practices.

Monday 6:30pm

Tuesday and Friday 5pm ( Friday practice will be only 75 minutes since we play Saturday two games with first game at 8am).
