This week the  PLAYSOCCER™ coaches took some time out from delivering soccer sessions across New England to put the soccer cleats on to play themselves! An exhibition match saw two teams formed within the coaches; The ‘Pink Team’ for October’s Breast cancer awareness month and the ‘Yellow Team’ in support of the ‘Livestrong’ organization.

Both teams took to the field in an enjoyable but competitive manner, showcasing some great skills and technique. Owner, David Gates stated “It was a great day in which all the coaches, whether they had been at the company 3 months or 3 years could come together and be part of such a worthwhile experience.”

The standard of soccer was of a high caliber and it was obvious the coaches were practicing what they preach with some great pass and move soccer. Although the game was just a ‘friendly’ game it was obvious the competitive nature of the athletes took over as neither team wanted to lose to their peers. As a result the Yellow and Pink teams shared 8 goals in a 4-4 tie. A penalty shootout was the only way to split the teams with the Yellow team coming out on top by the narrowest of margins 5 goals to 4.
