Good Week in Practice

2010-02-19T04:20:00.000-08:00

This week we had good practices with Hippos B, A and the Superhero Girls

Remember that Hippos B starts at 9:30 on Saturday and finishes at 11.

Both Hippos teams play in the Liga on Tuesdays and the Superhero Girls play on Mondays and Wednesdays

This week in girls practice we hosted a team from Hippos A. The girls, with help from Ms. Kaitlin and Mr. Sean, beat the Hippos 4-3. Good match from all. Especially strong for the girls were Karma Kemal and Noor Malamanni

Special Matches This Week

2010-01-09T12:58:00.000-08:00

We are going to try to arrange matches for all three teams this week, but there will be at least one match this week. That match will be Hippos B against Hippos A.

The boys who will play from Hippos A are:

Hassan
Ibrahim
Ahmed Q.
Mo'Men
Jihad
Ameed
Osama

Good luck to you all. If there is extra time this week we will also play a girls match with half od the Superhero Girls playing against the other half. If there is a lot of time, we may play Hippos A against the teachers.

I know Hippos A have played the teachers many times but this time the strongest teachers will play. That means Mr. Ahmed, maybe Ms. Jess, Ms. Kaitlin, and ..............................................Mr. Sean. We will see just how good you are.

Superhero Girls Overhwelm Hippos B

2010-01-03T11:33:00.000-08:00

In a hardfought match this Saturday, the Superhero Girls defeated Hippos B by a score of 5-2. There was some excellent play on both sides.

Karma Kemal scored three goals, Rawya Abu Rabee scored one and Abdelraheem Samara (who was helping out) scored the final goal for the Superhero Girls.

The boys played well, in particular Mahmoud, Tariq, and Yusf Kemal. Montasser was also strong. We will have a rematch soon.

Match Stopped with Hippos Down 1-0

2010-01-03T11:13:00.000-08:00

Two weeks ago we faced off against our old friend Iman. We lost that match 8-1. Last Thursday we had a rematch in break 2. The Hippos were down 1-0 when Ms. Lana stopped the match. We had almost finished the game but math classes were starting and studying is more important than football.

This was a much better performance than our last match. Hopefully we will play again soon.

Hippos Win 4-2

2009-12-29T07:43:00.000-08:00

Some great play by the Hippos resulted in a 4-2 victory over the teachers. Only some great goalkeeping by Dianna's brother helped the teachers come so close. Bilal Kayed scored the first goal, making two games in a row he has scored.

Omar Helawa scored two goals and made some good saves when he was the goalie. Khaled Abu Gosh was strong on defense and in goal as well. He also earned a penalty when Ms. Kaitlin pushed him to save a goal.

Sami Kilani scored the final goal after some great work from Hassan Khouly. Waleed Titi also created a goal for Omar with a beautiful corner kick.

All of our boys played well. Osama Titi put in some excellent time on the left wing and at center forward. Ahmd Quaraish was also solid for the Hippos.

Good Practice for the Girls

2009-12-28T16:37:00.000-08:00

Today we only played football because we have a match coming up. We passed, shot, and played a long practice match. Our new captain, Dana Tamimi, and Karma Kemal picked teams.

Karma's team scored first with the goal coming from Karma. Safa and Dianna were both doing good work too. Noor Maslamanny made it hard for Dianna's team to score but they did. Rawya got the goal. Qamar Amad also put in some nice effort for Dana's team.

It looked like the match would finish 1-1 but then Sena Kayed scored a goal for Karma's team. Great job Sena!!!!

The final score was 2-1

Sorry I Haven't Posted

2009-12-27T13:06:00.001-08:00

We had a good practice today. We did a lot of running, practiced our passing, and played a few practice matches. The Hippos B team split into two teams to play each other.

The team composed of Mahmud, Tariq, Yusuf Kemal, Zakariya, Anan, Montasser and Amr won the match on penalties.

As the winners they moved on to play the Hippos A team. Imad and Waleed Anibtawi filled in for missing boys on the Hippos A team.

At the end of the match the score was tied 0-0. Some good goaltending by Mahmud Sheeb and solid defense from Montasser Maslamany held the Hippos A without a goal.

At the end of the practice Hippos A had to run. great work Hippos B.

Hippos A Logbook

2009-12-20T14:10:00.000-08:00

We now have a logbook to record which students are working hard in Hippos A. The only students allowed to use the book are the Assistant Coach and the Captain.

We are going to rotate captains every two weeks. Our first captain is Mohammed Sindi. Our Vice-Captain is Ziyad Kurdi. The Vice-Captain takes over if the captain is hurt or can't play.

Khaled Abu Gosh is our assistant coach.

Hippos B Practice

2009-12-20T14:07:00.001-08:00

It went well. Some friends stopped by to help us out and we had a good practice. We worked on passing, shooting and throw ins.

Tomorrow is Superhero Girls. We will run, play football, handball, volleyball and, maybe, box a little. Are these girls already practicing?

Hippos B Practice

2009-12-19T11:40:00.001-08:00

Good practice today. We did some passing practice and then we worked on our shooting. After that we split into teams and played a practice match. Islam, Mahmud and Dawood all did a nice job for their teams.

The match ended in a tie and we had a shootout. After two rounds of PKs, Mahmud's team won.

See you tomorrow!

Volleyball, Boxing, and Football

2009-12-14T12:02:00.000-08:00

Today we started learning a few new things. As always we started by playing Ms. Kaitlin dodgeball. We play that by getting all the balls and throwing them at Ms. Kaitlin.

From there we moved on to beginning volleyball. We practiced passing for a while. Its a hard thing to learn but we are getting the hang of it.

Then we split into two groups. The group with Ms. Kaitlin practiced football and the group with Mr. Sean worked on some boxing. (Don't worry parents we will never box against other students).

The best boxers were Noor Maslamanny, Qamar Anibtawi, and Dianna Deria.

Then we finished up with a football match. It was a fun day. Can't wait for Wednesday.

Today's Practice

2009-12-13T14:44:00.000-08:00

Today A and B practiced together. We did a lot of running and the partnership of Tariq and Waleed won the sprints. Ahmed Q. and Montasser won the long distance run. Ahmed Q. is getting much better and is winning more playing time on Hippos A.

First A played B and the final score was 1-1. Omar Halawa scored for A and Mahmoud scored for B.

After that match we played fourth grade against fifth grade. Fifth grade won that one 1-0 with Tariq Shaheen scoring the goal. There might be a match for A on Tuesday.

Hippos A Loses to Hippos B

2009-12-12T04:48:00.001-08:00

Today at Hippos B practice we played a match between Hippos B and some of the boys from Hippos A. Hippos B came out on top 1-0. The star of the match was Dawood Amad who scored the goal for Hippos B and, along with Montasser Maslamani, made an important stop on the goal line when Hippos A was about to score. Great work Hippos B.
