Cleveland Cup 2009 Girls' Champions
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 U11 and U14 Boys, plus the U11, U14, U16, and U17 Girls all recently participated in the Flagship Cup in Erie PA. The tournament, as always, was well run and everything went smoothly. The U11, and U14 Boys, and the U14, U16, and U17 Girls all U16 advanced into the semi-final stage of the competition. The heat and lack of subs played its toll and three teams advanced into the final stages of the tournament. 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. Tuesday, January 22 U17 Girls Indoor National Champions
U17 Girls National Indoor 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 Game 3 v. MDSC Santos, 5-3 Win Emily 1, Steph 1, Cassie 1, Kaitie 1, Ardyn 1 Championship Game v. Boston Aztec, 4-3 Win Kori 1, Ardyn 1, Kaitie 1, Cassie 1 Tuesday, February 12

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
PARENT EXPECTATIONS
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. |
