Tough Soccer on the Mud

The 12 and Under Elementary Soccer team did a GREAT job on the tournament this weekend. Players that represented our school in the tournament were: Rafael, Omair, Caleb, Elijah, Saturnino, Ngash, AndrĂ©, Aqib, and Daniel. They played against some great teams and also on very tough conditions  because of all the mud on the field. The highlights were Elijah and Rafael with great saves as goalies and Daniel who scored a nice goal from a free kick. Coach Batista is very proud of all the players this weekend.
