Since I last posted, I played a full summer season with a house team at the Soccer Zone. Turns out that the summer seasons are quite a bit more competitive, probably because only the "hard core" teams play. We ended up playing against teams that were much better and lost all of our games.
Last fall, back with the regular team, we actually managed to win 2 games, which was a big improvement for us. Of course the team we beat was, um, not so very good and we beat the same team in both games that we won.
In my most recent season, which ended a week ago yesterday, we actually won 4 of our 8 games! It was quite an achievement for us and was a combination of getting a few new (better) players on the team and also a significant improvement for those of us (myself included) who are still learning to play.
We started the third session last night with a loss to the team that is pretty much the same team I played on the house team with last summer. We played better against them then we have, but still need to improve.
If you look at our performance over the last several seasons, here's the goal differential from our first season to our most recent full season:
| W05-06 S2 | Average - Team Score | 1.25 |
| Average - Opponent Score | 9.5 | |
| W05-06 S3 | Average - Team Score | 3.13 |
| Average - Opponent Score | 6.5 | |
| W06-07 S1 | Average - Team Score | 3.13 |
| Average - Opponent Score | 4.25 | |
| W06-07 S2 | Average - Team Score | 2.5 |
| Average - Opponent Score | 3.38 |
As you can see, we've steadily improved our goal differential each season - from more than 8 in our first season (ouch!) to less than 1 in our most recent season!
