Fall 2012 Soccer Team News

Garrison Forest Middle School just got our new teams and we already feel like a family!  A and B team are both already working hard to win their first games of the season, which has just begun.  Coach Lahat is already pushing A Team to be the best they can be, while Coach Cline is trying to review the technical things through the game of World Cup, Knockout, and other drills!

Perspectives from A Team:

A team is kicking along very fast.  We are having so much fun getting to know each other and all of us are quickly getting better.  Everybody is striving to be the best they can be. Coach Lahat and Coach Rommel are making A Team possible and making practice super fun. We are all coming together to be the best A team Garrison Forest soccer will ever have.  By our first game on September 27th, A team is playing Bryn Mawr and we are going to be ready to WIN!

A Team got ahead of the game and chose their captains, Kayla B., Mia M., and Nina K. Middle School Soccer captains make announcements at Morning Meetings, take care of secret “supporters”, and do the coin flip at games.  Being a captain is a big responsibility, but it is really fun!
 


Perspectives from B Team

B Team is a great opportunity for students that want to learn how to play soccer or are returning to the sport after a long break.  The first week has passed and we already are scrimmaging, playing games, and learning new ways to have fun while playing soccer!  B Team coaches, Coaches Burns and Cline, make scrimmaging an enriching and fun experience for all of us.  Our team members love being here and are very helpful and we are already becoming friends outside of soccer. On B Team, it is fun to meet students from all grade levels and learn more of the great game of soccer.  B Team learns new skills through games and other interesting ways that keep soccer fun. GO B TEAM!
          
B Team has chosen their captains, Paloma and Alexa C.  With their first game on Thursday, September 27th, B Team is working harder than ever to finish reviewing important skills that are both basic and advanced.  The Thursday game is at 3:45 and is home, a little after A Team’s game, and B Team is playing against McDonough School.

  2. It was a great idea to break up the A and B team and have each of you write "perspectives" from your team. I can't wait to come and see some of your games this year!

  3. I really like that the team is becoming a big family. I feel the exact same thing about my field hockey team. I also like how both teams are working their hardest.

  13. Yay B Team! I am really enjoying playing with you guys and I think we played wonderfully against Baltimore Lutheran. They might have beaten us 1-0, but we were definitely the dominant team. You all had wonderful footwork. The coaches Coach Klein, and Coach Berns are amazing-I have sen so much improvement in myself and my teammates. That captains Paloma and Alexa are great, I am so proud to have them as our captains. I am looking forward to playing more games with my team!
