For the past two years, Robert's 3v3 team has taken the championship of the Thoroughbred 3v3 tournament for their age bracket. This year they decided to make it more challenging, so they registered to play in the U13/14 age bracket. 3v3 is different than regular soccer. The boys play two 12 minute halves on a small pitch with very small (1 ft by 2 ft) goals.
Well, that maybe wasn't a good idea.
GAME #1: They won their first game even though the guys were bigger and stronger. We are off to a great start with the exception that Parker got hurt in the game. (I hope he's okay). Robert made several shots, but missed the goal by inches.
GAME #2: They lost their second game 7-0. Oh, wow! Those guys were a whole head and shoulders taller and much bigger and stronger, than our little guys. Robert was disappointed because he made shots, but the other team deflected them, or he missed the goal by inches.
GAME 3#: It was back and fourth for a while, but we relaxed our defense and they took advantage of it. We lost 8-4. Robert finally scored a goal. Ben had two and Eric had one.
I think we should have stayed in our own age bracket, but it was good experience for the boys. Next year they will have to try again.
