Now that we've wrapped up a very nice season in DELCO, it's time to reflect and then look forward. First, the reflection :1) The Rowdies are very, very good..when they want to be AND The Rowdies are easily dissuaded from wanting to be. 2) An 8 game win streak overcoming some reasonable hurdles, getting to the top of the table after an uninspiring start showed that there are a bunch of kids with allot of heart.3) We brought onboard four good kids and four really nice families and never missed a beat, a testimony to the Rowdiemommas 4) We are not technically proficient as a team, some of the kids who are more physical are able to overcome that and contribute, but, it's really holding others back from playing a bigger role. 5) We are only going to get better tactically by increasing our level of competition and technically by picking up our training intensity. 6) Some boys need to spend a bit of the break with a ball @ their feet instead of a controller in their hand. Now : a look @ the Spring. PROBLEM: We just simply can't play MASL anymore, we can't get better playing against those teams week in and week out. SOLUTION:  play in the MAPS league out of south jersey. WHY ? we'll get all the competition we can handle in their top division, which will help us stay on the upswing. We'll actually get some Sunday home games and the road trips won't require an overnight stay on the Blue Water Tours Wonder Bus. (a/b 90min max each way) MAPS will use neutral site games to avoid those memory makers. We need an early season tournament to get us kick started, again with level of competition as the key, then jump into MAPS and prepare for another run @ State Cup...Until then, eat that free range turkey, shoot a little hoops and have a great holiday season...cut Santa a break if he doesn't bring everything on your list...you can't have everything...or there'd be nothing to work for.
