soccer weekend

This weekend Koby's soccer team participated in a tournament in Traverse City. The entire team and their families spent the weekend together up north, playing soccer and spending time together during down time.

Their first opponent Saturday morning was the club PASS. Koby ended up with one goal in the game and 2 assists. The final score was Vardar 5 - Pass 0.






After lunch the boys played their second game of the day against the club SCOR. This team was very talented. Our boys came out strong, scoring the fist goal and holding them at zero the entire first half. Unfortunately, the other team came out very strong the second half and ended up scoring three. The final was Vardar 1 - SCOR 3.







Once our games on Saturday were over, we headed back to the hotel so the boys could swim and just hang out together playing their video games.





The final game was played Sunday morning in 43 degree weather and very wet fields. We played the club RUSH and knew going into the game that we had to perform very well in order to make it into the finals, where only the top 2 teams advanced. We started very strong out scoring them 5-0 in the first half. During the second half, we allowed 2 goals, scoring only one more for our team. While Koby did not get a goal, he had one beautiful assist. The final score was Vardar 6 - Rush 2.






Overall our boys tied for second place in the U9 Division of the tournament, but did not go on to the finals because we had more goals scored against us over the two days than the other team.


Ky was a real sport during the tournament, content eating snacks and cheering for his big brother's team.
