The Nationals FC 05 girls finished 2nd at the 2012 Kick It 3v3 World Championships. The 3v3 tournament took place in Orlando, FL at the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex over Martin Luther King weekend. The girls played through 2 days of pool games and took first seed going into the playoffs. In fact, the Nationals FC girls were the only team to defeat every team in their age group. On their 3rd day they advanced to the final against Liverpool, also from North Texas, but came up short in the championship game. Regardless, the girls played great defense, possession style 3v3 soccer and attacked with all 3 players in their run to the final. We are very proud of these young players and they represented our 3v3 academy and club with pride, never wavering in their style of play. Congratulations to Riley, Torie, Daylin, Addisyn and Kyndal. They have set the bar very high and we look forward to great things from them and our growing 3v3 academy in the future.
The journey to this tournament began with our first practice in May of 2010. A great deal of time was sacrificed between then and now. So thank you to the families that made this amazing trip happen! Without your time, money, support and understanding none of this would be possible. This experience will always be a great memory for all of us and will propel the girls to even greater achievements in the future. Thank you!
