Soccer Season is here!

Elko's AYSO Fall Season has begun! Because of our climate-AYSO plays 8 weeks in the fall and 8 weeks in the spring. We usually have 3 weeks each season of Extremely COLD weather, 50% of the time in the SNOW!!!

And we are going, going, going, going!

Denny, CrAzY man that he is: Coaching U6 Girls-Sophie's team 6-5 year old little girls;

It has been a few years, since we've watched the little ones. It is so funny watching them move in a tight little pack, from one end of the field to the other, all huddled around the soccer ball! And it doesn't matter whose goal net it is, if you kicked the ball and made it in! Yeah!!

Assitant Coaching U8 Boys-Ben's team at 8-6/7 year olds, over half of the team is still in the 'flying airplanes' stage! Or, occassionally, they prefer to play 'Rock-Paper-Scissors' during the game!!

Assistant Coaching U10 Boys-Asa's team, although since Asa is trying basketball this season, they have not made it to very many practices, but they DO make it to the soccer games!

And, one more! Assistant Coaching U12 Girls-Katy's team!

Now, since we did the competition team this summer, it was presumed by some, that Denny & Kevin (the Head Coach) would try to 'stack' their regular, recreational soccer team with the competition players. The players that improved their skills 100% over the summer. So, they refused our offer to help coordinate the age group-find coaches, sort the players onto the teams, etc...

Well, we got an AWESOME team, anyway!! Probably FAR better than we would have if WE had sorted the teams-we usually give ourselved the newer players! We have only 4 of our competition players, the rest of our team has stepped right up and done superb! We are undefeated 3/0 at present. Our First game was against a co-ed team that usually runs right over our players (at least they had in the past!) We Stomped them!!!

And, we are signed up to attend an AYSO tournament in Winnemucca, NV, with our reacreational team-mind you, and it looks pretty good that the team will win!

WoooooHooooO!
