After watching the progression of our regional event this weekend the more I look forward to district play and the ability to give my students more time behind the glass in a competition environment.

Not my thought but one of our team member's parent likened some matches to small children playing soccer, all the robots in a herd around the ball with no real coordination or play calling.
I didn't know little kid soccer was the perfect way to describe bad matches until now. Thank you for enlightening me this is fantastic
