Sunrise Sting Soccer
Work Hard, GET GOOD
 

U11 (96/97) Sunrise Sting Girls

TEAM PHILOSOPHY/MISSION

Our primary goals are for our players to have a lot of fun and to teach the girls to play the game the right way. We spend an extraordinary amount of time on teaching, practicing and developing skills. Our practices are primarily small-sided exercises where the players get tons of touches on the ball in all kinds of situations. What is special about this team is the enthusiasm and passion that the players have for the game. They almost never miss practice and they just laugh all the time. The combination of constant development in a competitive, but fun environment has worked quite well. The players have a passion for the game and it is reflected in the beautiful way that they play. While we have been successful in terms of wins and losses, our main emphasis is on developing players that have fun and that love the game.

2006-2007 Recap

August 2007

2006 -2007 was a good year for the Sting. The girls had a great time and continued to become a close group. They play soccer together, hang out together, message each other on the computer, talk on the phone, etc. The special bond they share off the field just enhances the way they play and have developed on the field. In terms of soccer, they continue to develop at a rapid clip, and have become more and more adept with their soccer skills.

The girls played against all kinds of competition and in all kind of tournaments. The team played 8v8, 6v6, 5v5 and 3v3. They played teams their own age and teams one year older. Each situation presented a different set of obstacles and opportunities, and the team made many mistakes, but they learned from all of these experiences.

The team played up one year three times in an 8v8 format. In the Palm Beach League, the Sting went 7-1-0 and finished in first place. The girls also played up in the Region A Cup. The girls made it all the way to the final four, losing in double overtime. The team finished with a 3-1-0 record at the Region Cup. In May, the Sting played up in the Palm Bay Challenge and won the championship, going 5-0. Overall, the team was 15-2-1 against girls that were one year older.

Playing against same age competition in a 6v6 format, the girls entered and won three highly rated tournaments - the Orange Classic, the Gator Showcase and the Plantation Thanksgiving Classic. The team went a combined 11-1-1 in these tournaments. The one loss was in the first tournament game the girls played back in November, they have been undefeated since. The team also played in the FLUGSA league and was undefeated.

The girls got some wonderful experience in small-sided tournaments (3v3 and 5v5). Playing in five tournaments, the girls won the championship four times, and had an overall record  (excluding a split squad team) of 25-1.

The girls are excited and looking forward to the new season. They are aware that they need to improve everyday and that they need to overcome new challenges and tougher opponents. The friendships they have made, the joy of playing and the thrill of competition is what continues to drive them as they aim to become better at soccer and at life.

2005-2006 Recap

August 2006

Our team has just completed their first full season of play. The girls had a terrific experience and everyone really improved. This team carried a very small roster, and often played their games with one or no subs. Despite that, or maybe because of that, the girls developed a "never give up" attitude that has really enhanced their play. The girls on this team love to play, they listen and they work hard all of the time. The team's main objectives are for our players to continue to improve and to have a great time doing it.
