Coach Beth Carlson
U12 Girls head coach
Q: What stood out this spring? A: Ella deciding she was a goalkeeper. She asked in April, and by June she was organizing the whole back line. Nobody told her to do that. Q: A moment you will keep? A: Nora's first goal, with her grandmother on the sideline. I have coached a long time and that still gets me. Q: What are you working on for the fall? A: Corners. We scored off two this spring and gave up three. Q: Advice for parents over the summer? A: Let them play something else. Come back in August bored of the beach.
“Come back in August bored of the beach.”
