Special thanks to Wayne Wallace for stepping up and helping me out at practice for the U8/U9 team on Tuesday. I'm sure the kids enjoyed some variety in their coaching!
The players are as ready as they'll ever be for their first games this Saturday. Here are some side-notes:
-U8 team starts at 9:15 am. PLEASE GET THERE AT LEAST 15 MINUTES EARLY TO WARM UP and for me to know who is all there!
***PRIMMER is bringing snack and drink!!
-U10 team starts at 10:15 am. PLEASE GET THERE 30 MINUTES EARLY TO WARM UP AND for us to plan our starting line up.
***BEHM is bringing snack and drink!!
BOTH GAMES ARE AT ROTARY PARK!
Photos will not be this first week. They will be the following week on the 19th. That is a little different from years past.
Please be sure that your player has soccer shoes and not football. How do you tell? The football cleats have a cleat in the center front of the shoe on the very end. Refs will be looking for that before the game. If you are not sure, please bring an extra pair of tennis shoes to the game.
Despite my very busy schedule, I am still having so much fun with your children and hope they are as well! I have two great groups again this year, which makes it that much more enjoyable.
PRACTICES will continue/same times and places next week:
5:30-6:30 U8
6:20-7:20 U10
Rotary Park
Questions? Comments?
Let me know. I'm here for you!
See you Saturday and have a wonderful day!

Practice, practice, practice...makes...
We've been busy practicing on Tuesday nights on both teams. The players are working hard and learning some new skills while practicing what they already knew:
U8: passing the ball, aiming towards an object (OUCH!), dribbling, using different points of the foot to control the ball (top, bottom, sides, etc.)
U10: all of the above as well as throw-ins, heading the ball, controlled passing, and of course both teams have been
scrimmaging!
We have one week of practicing left before games start!!
BOTH TEAMS HAVE SOME CHANGES FOR THE LAST WEEK:
U8: Tuesday from 5:30-6:30 pm
U10: Monday, September 7 from 6:20-7:20 AND Tuesday, September 8 from 6:20-7:20
Both teams will be getting schedules, shirts, and snack schedules next week!!!
NOTE OUR FIRST GAMES ARE ON SEPTEMBER 12TH (SATURDAY) AND PHOTOS WILL BE TAKEN. STAY TUNED FOR TIMES TO ARRIVE ON THAT FIRST SATURDAY!!!
As always, please contact me with any questions or concerns you may have. I am thinking practice attendance was a bit low last night due to the first day of school for many of the players. If there are other concerns than that (not enjoying practice sessions, etc.) please let me know so I can make necessary adjustments. Practices go so much better when we have a full team!
Enjoy your week and we look forward to the season!
