Go Silver Bullets!

Today was the start of Allison's first season in U10. Her coach is David Guinn and Matt is excited to help out. Their team is the Silver Bullets and we have quite a few girls from previous season's on the team and think they will do well.

Matt helps the girls warm up.

Allison was picked as one of the team captains

Allison started off the game as goalie. She let one get by her pretty early, but held them for the rest of the quarter.

She had a nice big foot on her goal kicks.

2nd quarter, she played midfield. She isn't used to that much running so she was wearing down fast. She had some nice passes up to the forwards and we were up 4-1 at halftime. We have several fast girls with big, solid kicks and all of the shots went in the net!
Allison player left forward in the 3rd quarter and had some nice opportunities, but really needs to work on staying in her position so she is ready for a break away. I think once she conditions a little more in practice, she will have the stamina to do a great job anywhere she is needed. It was a real team effort in their 5-2 victory. Great job Silver Bullets!!
