March Madness...What a great day the Man U boys had at the u9/10 March Madness Tournament at the Dome on Wed 18th...the boys made it to the Final losing 1-0 to u10 Middlesex United...Congrats to both teams on an exciting final & tournament play, which was sponsored by FC London, the new PDL team..
 
In Group B prelims, the Man U boys finished 2nd with 10pts...3 wins & 1 tie...beating u9 London United 2-1, u9 Woodstock 2-0, u10 GC Firebirds 1-0 while tying u10 MU 1-1
 
In the semis, with a big crowd watching, vs u10 Nor'West Falcons, down 1-0 early, the Man U boys kept up the pressure tying it up on a late goal, sending the game to penalty kicks...Alex I, Philip M & Anton K netted PK goals as the boys edged the Falcons 3-2 to take the semi match & advance to the final vs MU, who had beaten London City 2-0 in the other x-over semi...
 
In the 5pm final, given the challenge, coach Steve went with a defensive strategy, a 3-2-1 formation (vs 2-3-1 attacking), to take on MU to hopefully force PK's...MU with the talented additions controlled most of the game, as expected, keeping the Man U boys back on their heels...but Tristan L, Alex & Matt M, keeper Ryan M & the rest of the boys did an amazing job holding off the MU charge, witt the game still 0-0 with only 2 mins left, coach Steve was thinking the boys might just do it, pull it off...but hen off a MU kick in with a ~1:20 min to go, MU popped a beauty, top corner, to take the final...& the title Madness Champs!!
 
Coach Steve was extremely proud of the gusty effort, performance all the boys gave, in a long day at the Dome, up against the older u10 boys...making it to the final, receiving a FC London Madness Medal
 
Congrats to the Man U boys:
Tristan, Matt, Alex, Ben L, Ben O, Joe, Kaden, Dylan, Spencer, Anton, Philip & Ryan...
Thanks to assistant coaches; Simon, David & Derek for helping out...& to all the parents for your support/positive spirit during the long day at the Dome...

The importance of the NLSC club CDL program...started 4 years ago, the Club Development League (CDL) is an important 1st step in the development of players, boys/girls, from ages u7-u9, the development the core skills (getting touches on the ball, gaining control of the ball, proper passing/receiving/dribbling techniques all the time allowing players to be creative (making up 'their own moves' with the ball) & having fun creating a passion for the sport of soccer...

Since the club doesn't have its own house league program to draw upon, the club felt it necessary/important to start its own gender based select HL to 'feed' our u9 LDYSL outdoor boys & girls teams each season...the 2008/07 seasons for the club's younger teams that played/were developed in our CDL 4v4 indoor/outdoor program was an amazing success, the CDL success in 2008...2 tournament wins (MU & Nor'West) & 2 finalist...the 2007 results; only one(1) loss in 119 games...Wow!!:  wonderful results, its not all about winning however, but the process (development of core soccer skills) which ultimately leads to this success/results on the field...
