Numerous OCYS teams particpated in the JFC Labor Day Shootout this past weekend, with many teams advancing to the final match in their bracket. Listed below is Executive Director Steve Rammel's thoughts on the tournament weekend, as well as the list of results.
"I spent the weekend in Jacksonville at the JFC event, and I was very proud of what I saw from our teams and players. As a staff, we have made some adjustments as to how we develop players by going to pool trainings at the younger ages," said Rammel. "Developmently you can see the impact it is having on our young girls and boys. We also believe in a certain style of play that is important for a player's development. We are asking our younger teams to play possession and build out of the back through their goalkeeper. You don't see a lot of teams doing that in Central Florida. In the long run, this will help our players greatly."
