Fall 2010
With all but one player missing, the Pirates kicked off their first game of the season with a lot of good energy and two great goals scored by Aidan and Logan. Coach Roe is really proud of each of the players for their effort in the heat of the afternoon and as the players are just getting to know each other. Up next: Working on spreading players around the field, keeping our goal covered on defense and working on breakaways to score!

As last season ended with all of the parents pitching in to coach and referee when Coach Roe had to suddenly leave town when I (his wife) ended up having an emergency surgery on vacation out of state, we just want to share an incredibly belated thank you to everyone who we understand actually got to know each other better by stepping up to the plate and probably doing a better job than either of us could have done! It's been a slow, steady recovery, but we're just now getting our groove together in the Roe household after a post surgery MRSA infection, and watching the boys play together like they are good 'ole friends despite the many schools they come from with this being for some - their only common bond - it's truly inspiring.
As an example, think about the fact that not one but two moms - Beth and Laura showed up with both halftime and after game snacks and drinks! That's good karma to all, and we thank you both for being such great contributors.
We want to thank in advance the parents who will help referee throughout the season and help in other ways as needed. We really could not have a better group of kids and parents coming together to inspire these boys to learn the fundamentals of soccer while having fun at the same time.

Let Gates know if you have any concerns or if you know you will be gone for a game. Thankfully we have lots of players and everyone will get a break when needed.
We played a tough team on our first game of the season and the Pirates should be commended for hanging in there and knowing we'll do better as each week progresses. We welcome back Gavin who was out of town for Rosh Hashana in week two and let's go Pirates!
