Saturday saw both teams take a step up in terms of game experience, with the under 9’s playing seven-a-side and the under 11’s playing their first under 13’s friendly.
Both teams did well, worked harder than normal and pushed themselves to play the very best football they could.
Seven-a-side rules are new to our younger group who normally play five-a-side, but stood up well to the Bayside U11’s team at home. As the teams progress, these small stages are vital for them to gain confidence and learn how to play as a sevens’ team.
Under 13’s friendly against Kinross colts:
The Stroller’s girls worked at a pace they haven’t been used to and a very tired, hard working Stroller’s team came off the pitch with smiles on their faces. Many positive were taken from this game and a few were able to see that fitness at this level is vital. They worked the ball well, played together, supporting and encouraging each other throughout the game.
It was great progress for both age groups today.
