Never Fear, the FUTURE is Here:
U15s Don't Sweat it --
YOU ARE READY by Aislinn Leonard
When you’ve spent the last few years running circles around your opponents, pointing at will, and owning the U15 pitch, it can be a bit intimidating to make that move to the BIG SHOW – the Adult League. Even the name is scary – you’re not an adult, you don’t even drive yourself to the pitch, what are you going to do up there with those huffing, puffing, sweating, swearing beasts?! Your length-of-the-field puck outs, your evenly matched marks, and the teammates and opponents that you line out the field with every single week are all gone. At 15-years-old the youth players who have been honing their skills in a group of less than 30 kids, must lace up their cleats and start swinging bigger and faster than they ever have as they take to the fully stretched pitch with real Grown-Ups! Rookie Camp, hundreds of players, teammates with real jobs and kids of their own, no wonder the U15s pause when asked if they’re excited and ready for the move!
