CHS Boys Chronicle 2017-18

Sport
U9 Football
The U9 coaches spent the early stages of the
season teaching the boys the key skills to
transition from 6-a-side to 7-a-side football.
The boys were taught about different formations,
and the vital roles for each position, as well
continuing to develop their individual ball skills.
The U9 circuit was extremely competitive this
season, meaning 57 goals and 12 wins as a year
group was very impressive. Well done to all boys
and coaches for a very productive season.

U9A Hawthorns
Football
Tournament
The Hawthorns Football Festival brought the
first set of fixtures for the U9’s this season. After
only 1 Games session is was difficult to find time
to work on any team shape or tactics, therefore
ensuring that was improved as the day went on
was our main focus. After a slow start against
Hawthorns, we did begin to improve. We passed
the ball with more quality, but importantly, we
started to do things quickly. Our opponents
found this difficult to deal with, meaning that
we would go on and win out 6 team group. Both
Humzah and Aston were excellent in defence,
listening to instructions about how to shape
up extremely well, and Tega was a constant
threat up front, scoring some superb goals. We
ended up losing the final by the way of Golden
Goal in extra time, seconds after missing a
great chance ourselves. However, the boys
took the defeat like honourable young men,
and more importantly did improve as the day
went on, which bodes well for the season.
