Game Faces
Sometimes, the photos with the most impact aren’t the ones with the big header or game winning kick.
Without further delay, I introduce game faces.
Soccer at All Ages
After covering a lot of high school soccer lately, I started my engagement with Norcross Soccer Academy this weekend. My coverage Saturday included Under 6, Under 12 Boys, and Under 14 Girls Select. I had additional games scheduled, but thunderstorms moved through the area just after lunchtime and caused the cancellation of most games during the afternoon.
The morning was filled with three sessions of Under 6 soccer. The kids show a lot of enthusiasm for playing and the coaches do a great job of keeping the game moving and keeping everyone in motion for the full length of the game.
The other important shot at this level – celebration!
As the day went on, I moved over to the full size fields and worked two Under 12 Boys games. I worked some from midfield, as the fields had a significant crown to them which allowed the ball to be lost on the other side of the crest. I caught this moment as a pair of players went for a header, which I thought was a unique view.
After the storms moved through, one game was allowed by the county to be played – a match between the Under 14 Girls Select team and the Savannah Shockers. The girls on both squads showed a lot of talent and intensity in their play of the game.
