The official size of a soccer goal is 8 YARDS wide by 8 Feet Tall. Toni is about 5 feet 3 inches tall. Yet this weekend's West Coast Tournament came down to Penalty kicks. A Penalty Kick is when a ball is placed 12 yards away from the net and a goalie is basically supposed to guess where the player is kicking and launch their body to that spot. Yes in the 8 Yards wide goal.
Well fortunately for the West Coast Girls. Toni is a good guesser, she guessed correctly twice, and one girl from South Bay Galaxy missed another shot. Our girls, after actually being able to practice Penalty kicks this week made all of their kicks and, the now number 3 ranked in the United States for girls soccer under 12, West Coast FC Gu12 won the West Coast Classic.
The first picture below is one of Toni's saves. The second picture, which I love, was of our girls celebrating after the win and 2 of the South Bay girls consoling their keeper, who had nothing to be upset about as she saved the game on a point blank shot as time ran out.
Congratulations to all the girls....Sorry the only camera I had was the G11.
