The 1st Rush Atlantic Cup Tournament is history and congratulations to the U-14 Nike Boys for finishing in first place and taking home the hardware. I will put a video from each of the other three tournament games on the blog as I get them finished. Hard to believe the fall season is over. The Denver Cup seems a long time ago now. How many training sessions, VCCL games, tournament games, trips to Richmond...trips to Richmond...trips to RICHMOND... I don't know about all of you but with all the time we spend in Richmond, Chris and I are thinking of getting a condo up there!
With the hustle and bussle of soccer season and the big tournament win I sort of neglected to wish everyone in the VA Rush U-14 NIKE family a happy, safe and joyous holiday season.
To the parents who pay the bills, drive the miles and stand for hours cheering, shivering and sweating...to the coaches who teach, motivate, enjoy the successes and withstand the frustrations... and particularly to all the U-14 NIKE players who are the reason we all do this in the first place...
MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Atlantic Cup - U-14 NIKE v PA Redlands
The U-14 NIKE boys kicked off the tournament with a 1-0 win over the Pennsylvania Redlands. Temperatures were in the high 30's and heavy frost covered the shaded half of the field as the game began. Lots of physical play and lots of missed chances by the NIKE boys but the one goal was enough to dispose of the Redlands team. Darren is 1-0 as the boy's new coach. On to Swoosh II!
