Coach Jen Okafor

U9 Girls head coach, first season

Q: First season with the U9s. How is it going? A: Loud. In the best way. They cheer for everything, including throw-ins. Q: What did you see at Elm Grove? A: Lily taking a corner for the first time and putting it on Harper's head. They had never practiced it. I am not sure I should tell them that. Q: What are you teaching right now? A: Where to stand when the ball is not near you. That is the whole curriculum at U9. Q: What do you tell them before a game? A: Nothing about winning. I ask who brought the orange slices.

“They cheer for everything, including throw-ins.”
