Congratulations to the Cobra U18 Girls who successfully defended their Indoor National Championship last weekend in Baltimore (Jan 15th/16th). The girls had an easy path to
the finals scoring 29 goals and only conceding 2 goals. However, the final game against
the VSA Heat from Virginia proved to be most difficult and tested the girls to the limit.
Although the game flowed from end to end we got off to a great start when Kori gave
us an early lead. Soon after that Syd scored and at 2-0 we were having the best part of
the play. However, VSA slowly got back into the game pulling a goal back making the
score 2-1. Although we tried to take control of the game, once again VSA got the better
of us and scored again to tie the game at 2-2. Now the momentum really switched and
we were defending under tremendous pressure, and sure enough, as this crazy game goes,
they went ahead 3-2. When a team loses a 2-0 lead and concedes three successive goals, the momentum usually
totally shifts and remains with the team taking the lead. This was not to be. It took just
three minutes for Kori to equalize, and then put us ahead once again; this time until the
final whistle. When Jordie scored to put the score at 5-3 in our favour, the momentum
seemed to have switched yet again until VSA scored again to put the score at 5-4.
Although we conceded the fourth goal the Cobra girls continued to fight for every ball and
once again Kori scored. With the time running down, the VSA girls were certainly looking
as if they had peaked and when Kori scored the seventh goal, and her fifth of the game, they capitulated. It certainly was a truly well played and a most exciting championship for all to see. Overall
we scored 36 goals and only conceded 6; proof of worthy champions! This championship
will be the culmination of the national indoor tournaments for some of the girls as they
graduate in the summer, and it certainly was a fitting end to their Cobra tenure.

U15 Boys Memorial Day Semi Finalists
|
|
The U15 Boys ended their spring/summer season with a convincing Memorial Day Tournament in Erie PA. The team went undefeated during the preliminary rounds only to lose to the eventual champions in the semi-finals. It was a remarkable achievement as the team was missing numerous players owing to family commitments, and had everyone been there the outcome would surely have been different. This team gets stronger each season and the players are looking forward to getting together again in the winter.

A combination team of U15, U16, U17, and U18 girls playing in the U18 Division ended up as tournament champions on Sunday night at the Cleveland State Dome. The girls basically blew right through everyone until the final game when they faced a resolute Mentor Impact team. During the Final with Laura in nets stopping everything Impact could shoot at her it was just a matter of time before one of the Cobras scored so we could win the game, and the goal came on the 15th minute mark. Following a beautiful reverse diagonal pass from Kori Chapic, Kolbie Haines slotted the winner into the far corner of the net to give the Cobras a much deserved championship victory!

The U14 Boys ended up as overall runner-up while the U14 and U17 Girls came out as the eventual champions. The six teams played extremely well and the players and families had a most enjoyable weekend.

U17 Girls Indoor National Champions
|
|
Nil satis nisi optimum, Nil satis nisi optimum, Nil satis nisi optimum, 1-2-3 Cobras!!!!!!! Was the resounding chant that reverberated around the indoor facilities in Baltimore this weekend as the U17 Girls claimed their biggest tournament win to date; the U17 Indoor National Championship. Every game was both exciting and nerve wracking as the girls fell behind by one or two goals in every game, including the championship game! The level of play was top drawer as the girls systematically wore down every team and clinically put them all away in a most entertaining manner. We had three lines that were rotated evenly throughout the weekend and every player contributed to the victories. It was a great deal of fun for the players and parents alike and hopefully, this is the first of many more major tournament wins. Laura Arnold had a fabulous tournament in nets making tremendous saves in every game. We had eight different players score goals; with goals coming from our defenders, midfielders, and attackers. The final was incredibly intense and exciting as the lead went back and forth between the teams. In the last thirty seconds with the game tied at 3-3 things were looking bleak for the Cobras as the Aztecs had a five V’s three break away. Two of our players, Kaitie and Cassie, had both been fouled and were still lying on the ground in our attacking third while the Aztecs attacked. Incredibly, we won the ball and played it quickly to Cassie who had picked herself up. With twenty seconds on the clock Cassie buried the ball past the keeper to give the U17’s the National Championship! A most euphoric moment for all the Cobra players and parents as we all knew the game was won.
The top scorers for the tournament were Kaitie with seven and Kori with five, and both girls had hat-tricks.
Yeah Baby!
Game 1 v. Boston Aztec, 8-2 Win Ronni 1, Kara 1, Cassie 1, Kaitie 2, Kori 3
Game 2 v. SAC United, 6-2 Win Cassie 1, Kori 1, Steph 1, Kaitie 3

Paris and Nicole Spot Cobras
As Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie were passing through Baltimore International Airport at the weekend they spotted a group of Cobras on their way home after playing in the National Indoor Finals. Although the Cobra girls were tired, being the good sports that they are, they took time out to pose with Paris and Nicole. After signing autographs for the Super Models, the Cobras promised both Paris and Nicole that they would get the photo on the Cobra Website for them; Paris and Nicole, welcome to the Cobra Family!

2. PAY ATTENTION to your coaches! Training sessions are the classroom; match day is your exam! The information coaches are giving you is needed to win the match.
3. WORK HARD all the time; Push yourself & push your teammates to work hard!
4. Training is what you do with your team; practice is what you do on your own (SELF-TRAIN throughout the year by running, juggling, dribbling shooting etc.)
5. Be PREPARED; make sure you have everything you need before leaving for your training sessions and matches {BOTH uniforms, extra socks, water, boots, a properly filled ball for your age level etc.}
6. LEAVE the officiating to the referee!
7. If you're going to 'Cryoff' for a training session or MORE importantly a Match - notify your team manager as early as possible.
8. "Fair Play" - at all times! Sportmanship is witnessed by everyone on the pitch.
9. Compliment & praise rather than complain & ridicule teammates and opponents.
10. Eat nutritiously (you are athletes in training); therefore, stay away from the "junk food"!
Wednesday, April 17
1.DO NOT instruct players from the sidelines, leave the instructions to the coaching staff. Shouting instructions to players (only confuses them with information often times contradictory to what the coach is instructing).
2.LEAVE the officiating to the referees! Don't embarrase your son/daughter, the club, or yourself by making comments or gestures to any of the referees!
3.ENCOURAGE all the players (not just your own); compliment & cheer rather than critique & ridicule. If you have to shout, then either yell into your arm or better - wait until you get home and yell at the dog.
