Fall league play begins on September 11 and fall tournament dates now have been added to the team calendar. The first six months of team fees will be billed early in August so that we can pay for tournaments and buy some equipment.
As the secon
d-oldest team at HVAA, our practice time in the fall likely will be the late slot beginning at 7:15 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If your daughter needs new cleats now is the time to buy them while the stores have the new fall inventory and most sizes.
The Huntingdon Valley Thunder finished the 2010 Rock Spring Soccer League as undefeated champions playing to a 6-0 record with 35 goals for and 0 against. The team has not been scored on in spring soccer league play for the past two years.
The Thunder took second place finishing strongly after a horrendous start.

Week 3: HV Thunder vs GV Vipers
The result was a draw but we certainly had our chances. Good goal keeping in the second half denied us a win. We also need to continue to work on more aggressive play to win challenges as we did not get called for a single foul in the entire match. A clean match is good but no fouls in 70 minutes of play does not indicate a very physical match on our part.
Week 2: HV Thunder vs Warrington
This week we had a better result with a win but we have to get started much faster. Warrington was much more interested in winning than we seemed to be in the first half. Fortunately we got back on track and the second half showcased the skill, thinking and execution the girls are capable of when they focus.
Week 1: Danubia Celtic vs HV Thunder
Danubia Celtic is a very good, physically strong team and they are good at keeping possession. They earned the win through solid play. Overall our effort was good but we have to transition the ball better through the midfield in order to create more opportunities to score. By skill and ability we are capable of competing against the best teams, but the desire to win at every point in a match still remains a challenge for some players.
