VARSITY babe.......!!!!!!!

Meet the new Celebration High School "VARSITY" GOALKEEPER....... Yes, John made the Varsity team. We are so happy for him, it was a nailbiter as 5 other keepers tried out too, I think John felt a bit of pressure, but he pulled it off. A note for my Dad:- Dad, Varsity is like the A team, and Junior Varsity is like the B team in our schools. Its quite an achievement for a 1st year student in High School to make the Varsity team. Playing on FC America really helped John to shine, he was fit, and he was confident. Bearing in mind he will be playing with 18 year old boys we are a looking forward to see how he will do. Training starts Monday and our first game is 11th November.....!

John finally gets his day..............!!!!!

Every dog has his day right......LOL So after watching Sam win tournaments in Baseball and Soccer. It was Johns turn yesterday, Omni U15 made it to the final, if we won we were promoted to Division 1. It was always going to be a tough game this was the team that beat us 4-0 in the Disney tournament a few weeks back. We played them at their field 2 weeks ago and we drew 2-2. Today was the day that we had to make it happen. The boys played out their skin and we won 3-0, John made a few impressive saves and then our strikers played their part. Connor scored an amazing goal that was goal of the season for me, he defo bent it like Beckham, even John ran up out of the goal for a celebration with him......!!!! Soccer High School tryouts are this week we are excited for that, I will keep you posted......

U2

We set off last Friday for the long awaited U2 concert that I had booked tickets for last April. The concert was AWESOME! We had fantastic seats and the concert really was worth the wait.......!!!! It was a hot and humid night, but so much fun. The Concert was in the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa it held 82000 people, thats a lot of people........!!!! Bono was on fantastic form he sang all the favorites, Sunday Bloody Sunday, With or Without you, Where the Streets have no name, they played Vertigo and the whole stadium erupted it was a fantastic night.......

Central Florida Crush - Runners Up

After Central Florida Crush playing 2 tournaments and not winning a game, Crush really came together in the "War on I4" tournament last weekend. We won both our games on Friday night winning the second game in a Texas tiebreaker, it was a nailbiter and the boys really deserved that win. We were still on the field at 11.15pm and Sam was on a high when the game ended. It really was like an All Star final, the parents were all into it and got the team buzzing with confidence. With winning on Friday night we had the priviledge of playing the 3pm game which we won, so we were in the Final at 7pm. We lost this game to the team we beat in the Texas Tiebreaker they got a few key hits at the just the right time in the game. We really have a great group of kids and parents on Crush and I am happy Coach Jose got it together for our AAU Travel team. Our friend Steve from London came to watch Sam play on Sunday, so that made Sam happy win or lose.....!!!! No sport for the next few days for the kids we are going to have a lazy few days to try to gain our strength back, John is flagging, early mornings and late nights are starting to take its toll.....

Home and Away......

We had a great result yesterday against a very good Belleview team, we played them away and drew 2-2, this was the team that beat us 4-0 in the Disney Tournament so to come away with a draw was a massive boost, and confidence builder,our team was on Facebook doubting themselves. We scored very early in the game in the 3rd minute and then again in the 20th minute, they scored in the 70th minute and then we gave away a penalty in the last 30 seconds of the game. John tried to do a "Jersey Dudek" but the kid was just too good a shot. Its all good we have 2 away goals we just have to keep it tight when we play them at home on the 17th October. John got wiped out on one of the plays and you can see Ryan in the picture calling to the Ref, John got the free kick and put the ball in play. We are playing these playoff games to see who will earn a spot in the first division. These Omni U15 boys are so good they will, without a doubt earn that spot......!!!!

2nd Round of the Soccer Playoffs

FC America Omni U15 just keep on winning, we are through to the 2nd round this week of the playoffs. We have done so well to get this far the boys have played some pretty tough and big kids, but we held our own and are now moving on. Its a lot of travel and this Saturday we are playing up in Ocala, about 1hr 30 mins from Celebration. This may be our toughest game yet.....!!!!
