ORANGE KRUSH END SEASON....

THE ORANGE KRUSH soccer season came to end on Saturday....The team lost the season finale 4-2. After falling down early, 2-0, "THE KRUSH" rallied to tie the score at two before giving up two late goals.


Despite the heartbreaking loss, snack team was quite festive. It's amazing what a juice box and a sack of chips can do for a kid's spirit....




Steven and Gabby messin' around during post game festivities. Steven rocked in Saturday's game scoring both of our team's goals. His dad Marty was rollin' video and was quite pleased!


It always amazes me how soccer is not so much bigger on a national level. So many soccer families come out every Saturday and have so much fun with the game. There truly isn't a better game for kids to play. My hope is that someday, soccer will be as important here as it is to the rest of the world. With the WORLD CUP games coming up, I hope that more kids will watch the games and aspire to do so much more than just play as a kid. True atheletes play soccer. If you have a true passion for the game, it will pay off in so many ways.

I can't begin to tell you how great it is to coach soccer. Saturday's game was so much fun. So many highlights..from my daughter Gabby hitting the post, a puddle stopping a goal against us and seeing my friend and assistant coach Marty's son score two goals. It has all been so exciting and fun for all of us. Assistant coach Tom's defensive strategy almost paid off today. I can't thank Tom and Marty enough for giving up their Saturday's and time out in the mud and rain. Thank you to each of the kids who made this season special for all of us.....I leave you with this; DRIBBLE, PASS,SPREAD OUT!!!!
