SOIS V 0 - 1 CA.V
SOIS V/JV 0 - 3 CA V/JV Thanks to everyone who made the trip out to Sanda for our first game and practice after a few weeks off. Despite the loss it was a good chance to start playing again in preparation for AISA next week. SOIS 4 - 6 Keimei HS
Goals: Keanna (3), Yulia Thank you to everyone who made the trip and played during the holidays. Although we lost the game, there are plenty of positives to take away from today; some very good defending, good communication on the field, good support and overlapping from the full-backs, and adapting to a new style of attack based on the players available. It was good to see everyone adjusting to a new team and different conditions today, well done. The following players have been selected to represent SOIS at AISA in Yokohama:  Squad for Varsity vs CA:
Over the Spring break we have the following optional practices scheduled at school, and games against Japanese high schools:

Also, there are new games on April 7; these are Varsity and JV games against CA, and Varsity games against a Japanese HS, at Sanda. This will be the final game before AISA and the end of the season. As there is a JV game as well, we will need almost everyone to sign up if possible please. Thank you! The following players have been selected for the WJAA tournament at MC Perry HS in Iwakuni. (The AISA squad will be announced shortly, once all of the players have informed me of their availability).

Game schedule  Squads The following players have been selected for the A, B and C team squads:
Managers
Janet Jones Asuka Hong Haruka Batai Momoka Fujii Renon Ohno
This week I would like to split the squad into two groups, so that everyone can have 8 vs 8 playing time on the whole field. Players should please come to practice on the following days (note that Yuka, Koki and Nana are down for both days):
Timeline08:30am A team and B team on field for warm-up 09:30am SOIS A vs MBIS A 10:40am SOIS B vs MBIS B 11:50am SOIS A vs SOIS B (optional for players who can stay until 12:45pm) Squad
Congratulations to the CA Falcons on their win this year, particularly as their squad struggled with injuries and they played the semi-final and final without any substitutes. As always it was a pleasure to host the teams from ISSH and Nagoya. Thank you for making the long trip down. Some of the results may have been disappointing for the Sabers, but as always our teams played with great spirit and will be much stronger for the experience. Of the 30 SOIS players in our three teams, only 7 were in middle school soccer last year, so the tournament was always going to represent quite a challenge. Considering a quarter of the A team, half the B team and the whole C team had no more than two weeks' experience with soccer, they played incredibly well and with a lot of heart. Highlights for the Sabers include the A team's great comeback from 3-0 down against ISSH, the close games between the B team's really close games with CA A and NIS A, and the C team's win over NIS B. Coach Rumble and I are really proud of the whole squad.
