Player/parent turnout was excellent!!! My son is a 9th grader and I didn't see one coach at either of his games. Not one.
He's a 9th grader so I really don't care....but he and the other kids noticed that there were no coaches there.
Great jacket.....his comment was, "well, at least I got this coat!"
From a playingf perspective.....what a lot of fun!!! Level of play of both 9th grade teams was excellent!!! My son's team had a rough/disoranzied 1st half, coach obviously said the right things at half because from then on they played very well...organized, ball on the ground, play thru the middle of the field. Second game.....was a blast. Kids played a 10th grade team and won....and played great together.
They all know each other thru competing and ODP and stuff...and they commuincated very well on the field..talking to each other constantly. A lot of the parents know each other and enjoyed the time as well.
Great day!!! Just didn't see any college coaches. So 1/4th of my Chico graph is complete. 9th grade time spent by college coaches = 0.
