The Revelstoke U11 Boys’ Development team traveled to Vernon on Sunday, May 3, to play against Vernon and Salmon Arm.
The first game of the day was a tough battle against Vernon. Vernon’s quick passes forced our team to work especially hard to shut down each attacking play, and we were reminded of the importance of team formation on the field. Nelson Luxmoore was able to score against Vernon, and even though the team played well, there was lots to be learned in this 5-1 loss.
Fortunately the lessons learned from our morning defeat were put to use in the afternoon game against Shuswap. The boys widened their game and used supportive passing plays to generate opportunities on the field. With solid passes and a stronger shape, the boys were able to post a 3-0 shutout against the Shuswap team. Rogan Campbell, Francesco Morrone, and Thomas MacDonald were the boys who found the back of the net, and it is thanks to the teamwork and grit of all the boys on the U11 Development team that everyone went home with a smile.
