Summer Season '13 - Done, and done!


And that's a wrap!  We ended our summer tournament season in Foster City, and ended it with a bang via a decisive win.  It's always nice to finish on a high note.

No, we didn't win any trophies or accolades this time around.  However, what I saw in this team was something, in my opinion, so more incredibly valuable than a piece of hardware: camaraderie and chemistry.

Sure, it's always nice to chalk one in the "W" column, but that's never been what we Cardinals are truly about.   When a club's mission is to win and be about the club and not the kids, that's when things go awry. Our goal is not becoming the No. 1 team at every league level we're at.  We're more about development. Character. Teamwork. Sportsmanship.  We don't just give lip service to those attributes like so many clubs seem to do. We live it.
