IT'S AN ASSESSMENT GAME

-


You can say whatever you want, but everyone involved will be scrutinized. The coaches, players, style of play and formation.

On Saturday we will be going up against Richmond Hill who is presently coached by  Woodbridge Strikers former head coach along with a number of ex- Striker players who didn't want to remain or even try out under the new head coach.

On our way to winning the Ontario Futsal Cup we defeated them in the semi-final.They also played in the Umbro Cup without registering a win, while the Strikers won the tournament for that age group.

Those who were at the practice sessions this week must be wondering the reason for the coaches being so military on the boys while trying to perfect every drill they conducted. I had to laugh when I heard, " If you do that in the game Saturday I am taking you off".

From all indications if the Woodbridge Strikers can replicate seventy five percentage of their training they should be able to dominate and win. I have not seen the Richmond Hill team play an 11v11 game outdoor so by no means whatsoever am I implying that they are not a good team and not able to win themselves.

Seeing seventeen boys at practice Wednesday and Thursday was a welcoming sight for us as parents. Jordan was back participating in warm ups and at one point passing the ball around with Ganesh plus doing some juggling. On Thursday he acted as one of the goalie coach for Cristian. Can you folks imagine what the teams' potential will be when Chris is also back and fully fit.

LETS CHEER OUR BOYS ON  THIS SATURDAY !!!

STRIKERS STRIKE AGAIN

Firstly, let me extend congrats to coach Joe and coach Marco for the splendid job in the absence of coach Chris. Honestly, I don't know where to begin as it was highly entertaining and exciting in the same breath. The first quarter was totally Ethan's show, speed, quickness and deadly finishing only to be missed by mom Mavis. Coach Joe realized that the opponent's challenge was not forthcoming, so he decided to experiment with formation and players in different positions. Tayvin was slotted into the center forward position. Seeing him in a break away heading towards goal our contingent of supporters started cheering loudly for him to score. The moms went wild when he eventually did. While, dad Delroy tried to hide his excitement by keeping his head held down. Seeing how the boys are interchangeable between position tells me how versitile the squad is... for example Gianluca playing as a left defender. Our domination was evident based upon the score. Is it because the opp

WHERE WAS THIS BEFORE ?

The weather condition was very conducive for soccer. Did it materialized into a brilliant game of soccer especially in Woodbridge Strikers favor ? Playing against TFC OPDL boys from rumors one also has to contend with the referee's decision...we have witnessed it first hand. The roar by Strikers is always a determining factor of their vibes if they are in for a good game and today's shout could be heard from far and wide. Strikers sent a verbal message before a ball was kicked or the blowing of the referees whistle. Even in warm up gave the impression of cohesion, professionalism and focus. TFC came out from kick off as a rocket fired into space trying as best as possible in stopping Woodbridge Strikers Boys from playing out of defense. If that was their game plan Strikers quickly nullified it and laid it to rest. The saying goes don't give what you yourself cannot take. Strikers reversed the role on TFC and started pressing them from the keeper makes the pass either to

CONGRATULATIONS

The 2018 outdoor season is officially over. What's next on the agenda? Well before we move on let's reflect on the final game and the season overall. The Woodbridge Strikers OPDL 05 Boys redeemed themselves in their Saturday's game (final game of the season) in respect to Wednesday night performance. London Whitecaps came with full conviction and commitment not to lose to the Strikers again. Their resilience could not prevent them from loosing twice to Strikers. As Woodbridges  strike partnership of Tremaine and Ethan proved too lethal with both netting a goal in securing the win. Yes it was a win but not as convincing as the win over said opponents in London. Passes were off and players running into space were erratic plus our corner kick drills were totally discombobulated. I don't know if all the boys wanted was to get out of the cold and go eat pizza as quickly as possible knowing that awaited them. Some of the players from the opposing team demonstrated smooth s
