After an amazing showing from our 2010 girls they brought home silver at this years U15G Tier 1 Provincials! Great job girls! - #provincials #soccer #albertasoccer #yegsoccer

GOING FOR GOLD: Our U15G(Pettigrew) came out on top in their round robin group after a win against BTB and a draw against New Frontier SC of Calgary. The girls now stand one game away from becoming provincial champions! The match takes place tomorrow @ 1:15PM at the Red Deer Soccer Dome, lets go girls!

🎙: Some pre-tournament comments from 2010 girls head coach, Mike Pettigrew, when asked how his team has grown since their last Provincials Competition at the T1 level. Full interview below: Q1: Your team has had some amazing successes lately, especially that provincial championship win in the 2023-2024 indoor season at the T2 level! How would you say the competition changes when you move from Tier 2 to Tier 1? And what's the one thing your team focuses on to keep coming out on top in these big tournaments? COACH MIKE: Big differences between Tier 1 and Tier 2 is speed of play and intensity. My players have the skills, but had to adapt to use those skills at a higher pace. They have always made good plays, but needed to learn that the time to make these plays is much shorter. Q2: It's been a couple seasons since your team played in provincials at the Tier 1 level – the last time was back in the 2022-2023 indoor season. Looking back, how do you feel your team has grown since then? What changes or improvements have really stood out to you? COACH MIKE: The players have matured which has translated to a higher field IQ. There have been some changes to the roster and they have all turned out well. The team is quite deep now and I think that helps push them individually to achieve more. They have all bought into the fact that in order to reach the next level there is expectations to work on their own as well. Whether that is ball skills or conditioning. Any player I have coached can tell you that I push conditioning very hard.

Provincials weekend is here! Our 2010 T1 girls have made the trip to Red Deer for an exciting tournament ahead. First up, they’ll take on local rivals BTB and New Frontier SC from Calgary in their round robin games. The results of these matches, along with others, will determine what’s at stake for our girls on Sunday. LET'S GO, SELECTS FOOTBALL CLUB! 🔵⚪

Despite playing an age group up our 2010 girls would go undefeated to claim gold at the Slush Cup. This is the third piece of silverware the girls have collected this season, now they look forward to provincials in Red Deer!
