The Grade 8 Soccer Seconds have had a positive start to the season. For many of the students, this is their first time playing Soccer.

Our first game was a learning experience against Prospect. Despite the loss, students improved throughout the match and worked well as a team to limit their opponents scoring. The following week things clicked with the team’s first win against Star of the Sea. They were able to put together with some of the key skills learned from the opening game, such as defenders moving up the ground when in attack and helping the goalkeeper in defence.

A win at Kings Meadows was the highlight of the season. It was a competitive and high-scoring game featuring some great skills. Another outstanding effort was the win against Cressy as they demonstrated they were coachable, trying new things and positions.

We look forward to the roster resuming in Term 3 and to keep improving.
