Under 8s End of Season Report 2007/08

June 23, 2008 · Filed Under Upton FC - Under 8 · Comment 

This season was an educating season for both mangers and players. We realised that the way to win games was not to try and score from ridiculous places or take on every man, it was to pass the ball and recognise that the whole team was Upton and not just one individual. We began to gel as a team and I hope by this time next season we could have a cup win under our belts as this team has done each other proud this season.

At the beginning of the season we started brightly, winning most games and drawing a few but not losing. This run came to an end near Christmas time and began a 5 game run of no wins. A serious injury hit one of our key players and the team had little belief that we were going to do well in the top cup. The game came around and we were drawn against Ridgewood Warriors who we had lost to 3 times beforehand. A brilliant game of a 2-2 draw was decided in extra time with Upton winning 3-2.

Under 8s Rangers End of Season Report 2007/08

June 23, 2008 · Filed Under Upton FC - Under 8 · Comment 

The Under 8s Rangers team have been joined with some Under 9s and Under 10s, back at the ranch, honing their technique and enjoying some competitive small sided games. Once again it is testimony to the boys and girls in the group that their game has improved significantly. There is no doubt that this group has enjoyed great success at our winter venue at Upton Hall School. With 30 minutes of technique and skill coaching supported by 30 minutes of a small-sided game all the players have learnt about individual skill and team play. Very supportive of each other, the odd tiff has only helped them to gel as a group.

The small side games have usually ended with close results and my suggestion of ‘next goal the winner’ has resulted in me being taught a maths lesson – ‘How can 3–0, become next goal wins?’ The group certainly has a fighting spirit. Testimony to their success is the fact that they have achieved some great results through the FA Soccer Star Awards Scheme.
