U10 Girls
The U10 Girls - Blue aka Red Bulls - are CHAMPIONS of the blue division. The girls finished 4-0 with a 2-1 victory over the McLean green team. Mike Colbert and I are extremely proud of this team for their great effort throughout the weekend. Every player contributed and demonstrated tremendous heart, toughness and sportsmanship. In the first game, we won 3-2 with a goal in the final two minutes. The second game was 1-0, with a goal late in the second half. The third game was 4-1. After getting behind early in the first half 1-0, the girls tied the game late in the first half and added three more goals in the second.
There were tremendous individual performances but it was the whole team contributing that led to our team’s success. The team members are Anna Balch, Mallory Brodnik, Heather Colbert, Emma Edwards, Kaylee Eiseman, Hallie Kae Hoefherr, Jane Hurley, Annabelle Lee, Allison Pham, Caroline Spann, and Nicole Walch.
Great Job LADIES!! Coach Hurley
U10 Boys
The U10B Vienna Blue demonstrated strong teamwork, perseverance, toughness, and outstanding skill and sportsmanship as they played through 3 hard fought games. The team’s only loss was a well played 2-1 battle to McLean, the eventual tournament champions, that went right down to the wire. The 11 players on the team represented VYS extremely well. I am very proud of them.
Thanks, Michael Haase
The VYS U10B Red Devils All Stars were undefeated in the FPYC 2011 Father Day’s Tournament (1-0, 1-1, 5-0). The boys represented their club with class, superb skill and sportmanship. Due to a tie-breaker the team narrowly missed out on the final. The boys and their coaches would like to thank our fellow VYS All Stars and the VYS Raptors for scrimmaging against our team in preparation.
We were Vienna Red. We had a great tournament, big improvement over the fall. Probably the best thing was our bracket was extrememly competative with no juggernaut of a team which made for some great games for all.
During the first day we Beat Burke 4-0 in a game we simply dominated from the get go. This allowed us to mixup the roster in the 2nd half and let the boys experience different positions from where they were playing. The boys played very physical and I was very impressed they transferred what we covered in practice right to the game (Staying in position, passing and situationals). The 2nd Game against SYC was much more competative and extremely physical. Even so we were up 3-0 late in the second half and had some defensive breakdowns that led to 2 late goals by SYC in the second half. Yet our team stayed in and came right back to score a 4th goal to ice the game. Our boys showed great sportsmanship in this game as it was very physical yet they always checked on opposing players after collisions. I was extremely proud of their effort.
In what equaled a semi-final game for us our boys played extremely hard and were only down 1-0 at the half (We were missing our leading scorer forward due to a family emergency). We missed a chance to close the score to 2-1 when our apparent goal was ruled offside and went down 2-0. Even so the game was extremely competative and we simply missed some opportunities on finshing to get some points on the board. The other team was just a little more physical than us and did much better on connecting on passes which made the difference in the end.
Our boys showed great heart and sportsmanship in all our games. I was really impressed that they seemed to really grasp the positional theories and situationals that we only had 2 weeks to work on for All Stars and apply them in the tournament. All the boys were great sports in winning and losing and it was a joy to spend Father’s Day will all of them. I believe about half of my team is moving over to travel so I am looking forward to seeming them grow.
