Nationals FC 05 Girls Take 2nd at Kick It 3v3 World Championships

Sat, 21 Jan 2012 18:14:00 -1100

The Nationals FC 05 girls finished 2nd at the 2012 Kick It 3v3 World Championships. The 3v3 tournament took place in Orlando, FL at the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex over Martin Luther King weekend. The girls played through 2 days of pool games and took first seed going into the playoffs. In fact, the Nationals FC girls were the only team to defeat every team in their age group. On their 3rd day they advanced to the final against Liverpool, also from North Texas, but came up short in the championship game. Regardless, the girls played great defense, possession style 3v3 soccer and attacked with all 3 players in their run to the final. We are very proud of these young players and they represented our 3v3 academy and club with pride, never wavering in their style of play. Congratulations to Riley, Torie, Daylin, Addisyn and Kyndal. They have set the bar very high and we look forward to great things from them and our growing 3v3 academy in the future.

The journey to this tournament began with our first practice in May of 2010. A great deal of time was sacrificed between then and now. So thank you to the families that made this amazing trip happen! Without your time, money, support and understanding none of this would be possible. This experience will always be a great memory for all of us and will propel the girls to even greater achievements in the future. Thank you!

Sat, 09 Apr 2011 10:23:00 -1100

Nationals FC has worked with Blue Sky Sports Center in The Colony, TX to host our yearly summer 3v3 outdoor league. The league will begin on June 10th and continue through July 29th. 3v3 league games will be played on Friday nights on the outdoor fields at Blue Sky. The same traditional league format will continue with two 3v3 games per night consisting of 12 minute halves, no referees and no scoring. The focus of this league will continue to be on player development through lots of opportunities for each player to pass, dribble and shoot in a game environment that is not focused on results. Nationals FC works to continue the growth of 3v3 soccer and the development that small sided games provide young soccer players.

Teams interested in participating should register through Blue Sky Sports Center in The Colony. This Friday night 3v3 league is open to boys and girls for age groups 05s, 04s, 03s and 02s. It's a great way for 3v3 soccer teams who play in 3v3 tournaments over the summer(Kick It 3v3, 3v3 Live and QuickFoot) to get some great game experience on a weekly basis. Early registration is open now through June 5th.
