U-10 GIRLS RECPLUS

2010 Fall U10G Grey - Roger Erb Select Tournament

 

We played in a very tough division and I think we did well.  We ended up drawing our first 2 games 0-0 and then finished with a 1-0 victory.  This left us 3rd in our division with the winner winning all 3 of their games and second place won 2 of their games.  I thought we dominated in our 2 draws, but could not put a goal in the net.  We finished undefeated with a clean sheet (no goals scored on us).  Everyone had a great time and sad that the soccer season is over.

 


U-10 Girls Placed well at the Fall 2009 MUSC Tournament
The West Chester United U10 Girls team had a very successful tourney. The team (coached by myself and Dan Powell) gave up 1 goal (vs 13 scored) on the way to a 3rd place finish in the Roger Erb Tournament. We started the tournament with a 9-0 victory over Perkasie with 9 different players scoring. The next game was against a tough & experienced Hulmeville squad. West Chester gave them everything they could handle, but came up short losing 1-0. We bounced back for a 3-0 victory over Lower Moreland propelling them to the 3rd/4th place game where the girls knocked off Souderton 1-0.
 
It was a great group, they got along terrific and were just a lot of fun to coach. Let me know what else you need or if I can help in any way.

U10 Girls Fall 2007
Roger Erb 2007 Tournament Champions

U-10 Girls - Rec Plus Tournament.  Our first game was a defensive struggle and we tied 0-0.  We got it going in the second game and won 2-0.  In the third game, we played the host team, Montgomery United Soccer Club (MUSC).  They had won their first two games easily and had earned 7 points.  We had earned 5 points after our two games.  In short, we needed to beat MUSC in order to make it to the championship game.  A tie would have done us no good.  Further, it was clear to the coaches and parents on our team that MUSC expected to beat us.  Well, it was a hard fought, exciting game that we won 3-2.  In the championship game, we controlled most of the game.  But, after two overtime periods, the score remained 0-0.  The game went to a penalty kick shoot-out and thanks to some pressure-packed shots and 3 great saves by our goalie, we won 3-2.  The championship was ours.

The girls played their hearts out and Scott Davis, my assistant coach, and I are very proud of them.  It was our pleasure and privilege to be the coach of these fine group of girls.  Damon and Bob, thanks for all your hard work to make our Rec Plus participation a realty.

U10G Team Emails

Hi Damon and Bob.
 
I was one of the coaches for the U-10 Girls Rec Plus team.  Since our participation in the Rec Plus tournament last Saturday, the "thank you" e-mails have been flowing in.  It seems that our participation in the tournament was an unqualified success.  I have forwarded the message below from Buffe Savant.  I will not forward all the messages that I have received, but I will try to briefly summarize why I think our participation in the tournament was so important. 
 
1.    The girls got to participate in a travel-style tournament.  That was the first time that the girls got to play other soccer clubs as representatives of West Chester United.  Don’t get me wrong, the end-of-season Rec tournament is awesome.  But, this tournament had a different feel to it.  This may be the only time that some of those girls ever get to represent WCUSC in a tournament.  I suspect they will remember that experience for a long time. 
 
2.    Players, coaches and parents that were opponents in the end-of-season Rec tournament, were all of a sudden teammates representing WCUSC.  I am very pleased to report that we really came together quickly as a team.  Not just the players, but the coaches and parents also.  And, in the short time that we were a team, I think we became friends.  I suspect that goodwill will carry over to the spring season. 
 
Damon and Bob, thank you for all your efforts making our Rec Plus participation a reality.  It was worth it.  I think I can speak for all the players and parents when I say, if you find another Rec Plus tournament for us, we’re ready.

Funny you mentioned the smiling...Olivia woke up this morning and kept saying what a great day she had yesterday and how nice all of the girls were...she really enjoyed playing with them, and even though it was very cold we could not have had a better Saturday for soccer...The parents were all very nice and Olivia had a very good experience....so thank you again for the time you both put in and the accelerated clinic you had to put the girls through so quickly for tournament play...I really thought it classy of you as well for getting the pizza party together between games and how you conducted the trophy presentation ( letting the gold team have their moment for pictures...very cool of you). Scott and Kevin you were very good representatives for West Chester United...as were the girls...and parents.

We are looking forward to seeing the photos ( as are our family members that were too chicken to brave the cold...)
 
Again, thank you for being such well organized and productive coaches...see you in the spring...

I agree wholeheartedly.......Missy had one of the best experiences in her short life.....not only with the girls but with the coaches too......she has e-mailed and called everyone she thought would listen to her talk about her team’s win...she is still walking on air. 
 
Thanx again to the coaches, Kevin and Scott....for giving up your time to coach our girls...it obviously paid off.
 
Looking forward to spring ball....hopefully some of the girls will play together again.

Although my husband & I had to miss this exciting tournament, Sarah has not stop talking about it.  She had a wonderful time & is showing everyone who walks in the door her trophy!
 
Thanks to the coaches for their time & creating a positive experience for the girls.

We think the previous emails have said it all!  Yesterday was a fantastic experience for all the girls and their family members.  The girls teamwork and determination paid off!!  And much appreciation to Kevin and Scott for their time and commitment to this Rec Plus All Star Team:-)

I would also like to say thanks to the coaches, the team and parents for making this a very memorable experience for us. This is Heather’s first trophy and I’m sure it will always leave an impression!

I shot many photos throughout the day and will post them on my web site this week. I will let Kevin know when they are posted so he can pass along the information. (They will be password protected.)

Thanks, Brian Piper

Wow! What a great day! The girls really came together and played unselfishly as a team - it was so fun to watch! Thank you Kevin and Scott for all you did to get the girls ready for the tournament - I’m sure with all you have on your plates it wasn’t easy - then add the unpredictable weather...anyway, it couldn’t have worked out any better. Melana is thrilled with her trophy - but mostly she talks about the girls and what a great group they were and how much fun it was to play with them. It was a wonderful experience all the way around! We look forward to seeing you all in the spring!
