2016 Indoor Soccer Tournament – Well-Balanced Teams Play Great Soccer
On November 18, 47 students and four teachers gathered for the 2016 Steinmühlen Soccer Tournament. Under the direction of Mr. Neirich, seven teams were formed, and the tournament kicked off with 21 games played in a round-robin format.
The even matchups kept the competition exciting right up to the final game and resulted in matches played at a remarkably high technical level. The fact that the teams were playing at a similar level was evident, among other things, in that Team F, which finished in seventh place, managed to eke out a 2-1 victory over the eventual tournament champion.
Although the balance of the teams deserves mention here, three players in particular stand out:
The Student at the Bremerhaus Morteza demonstrated not only brilliant technique but also excellent court vision. Thanks to his team-oriented play, he played a major role in his team “Die Raketen” winning the tournament.
The player proved to be remarkably resilient and skillful Cecile Arroyo knew how to make her mark. The boarding school student had learned to play soccer in Alaska and had already earned plenty of respect from the “tough guys” after just her first game.
Mr. Schubert , playing as goalkeeper for the “Eisernen” (Team A), drove a number of opponents to despair. Completely focused and fearless, he confidently cleared dangerous situations in front of his goal and secured second place for his team in the final standings.
The coaching staff led by Mr. Neirich ensured that the tournament ran smoothly, and everyone was happy to have the chance to play some really good soccer again.
