Younger Teams Face Tough Test in Ohio

Schedules came out today for the Arsenal Elite Invitational, set to take place later this month in Cincinnati, Ohio.  I'm really bummed the U13s had to withdraw from the event in order to be best prepared for our first State Cup camp on April 30.  It would have been fun to make the trip and I was looking forward to observing the overall playing level at the younger age groups in some of the biggest clubs in Region II. It should be a very challenging and eye opening experience for some of our younger teams (and their parents).  My current team never faced this tough of competition at the U10 (we weren't even together yet) and U11 age groups.  I can't wait to see how our teams match up and get the game reports from the coaching attending.  This will help shape our training curriculum as individual and team strengths and weaknesses are sure to be highlighted this weekend.  See You're Planning On Taking This Team Where?!?!
