March 1 and 2

Hello team!

We have another NPL game this weekend. It's Saturday, March 1, at 3:30 pm at McGovern. We will be playing Eclipse. Let's wear all white, but bring the whole kit since we are the home team, the obligation is on us to change in a conflict. Please be there 45 min before game time.

Sunday we are playing in a friendly against Texas Rush. It's also at 3:30, and also wearing white, also be there 45 min before, but unfortunately the one difference is that we are driving to the Woodlands.

Here's the map, we are on field 2 at Bear Branch Park. 

Also, we have no training tonight. Enjoy the day off. Stretch. And see you Saturday ready to perform!

Dynamos Puma Cup

Hopefully the cold weather on Wednesday prepared you for tomorrow morning.

Our first game is at 8:00 am at Dyess Park. Let's all be there by 7:15. It is going to be bitterly cold again. Depending on which forecast will be least wrong, various websites I looked at are saying somewhere between 37-41 degrees at kick off. Please dress appropriately. Maybe leggings, definitely gloves. I'll have a blanket on the sidelines. The extras helped on Wednesday, so thanks for that!

We are playing Texas Rush (I'm not sure it's the same group we faced in SCLQ). In fact all of our games are on the same field (#4) at Dyess.

Google maps says it's about a 45 minute drive from the West U area.
290 to Telge, turn right, then 7 miles later turn right on Kitzman.

UPDATE: 290 at Pinemont is going to be completely closed this weekend. Allow time for a longer commute. You can take the Westpark toll road to Beltway 8 or I-10 to Beltway 8 and then up to 290. 290 should be fine east of the Beltway. Then right on Telge, left on Kitzman. Double check google maps though, I am known to be directionally challenged. 

Let's wear green, navy, navy (but please bring everything!) for our first and second games. Speaking of which....

The second game on Saturday is at 11:45. We play Albion. Same field. Same kit. It will be warmer for this game...supposedly.

We will be back at it again on 8:00 am on Sunday.

Here's a link to the tournament website. http://dynamospumacup.com/
You can get the schedule and results there. They even have an iphone app.

My plan is to grab breakfast out there after the first game, since there's not really enough time to make driving home and back worthwhile. I was thinking of 59 Diner on 249. I don't have a reservation, but anyone and everyone is welcome to join Claire and me.

Dynamos Puma Cup Schedule

Our schedule

The whole U14 schedule

This week

What a bummer to get cancelled again this Sunday! I'll keep you all posted on how and when we will make up that game.

In my amateur opinion, I thought Saturday's game had moments of brilliance, and we dominated possession, but we were lacking a little speed and cohesiveness. It's great that the girls have confidence, but we need to come out swinging and respect all of our opponents. I know it's cliche, but we have to learn how to deliver 100%, every game, from the whistle.

We should have our normal training today.

This Wednesday, 2/5, we have a NPL game. 8:00 start time against the Dynamos. The schedule shows the game at McGovern, but there is a chance we move to L4. Stay tuned on that. Let's arrive before 7:15, and we can wear white, but bring everything in case of a conflict.

We are playing in the Dynamos Puma Cup tournament this weekend. They should have a schedule up later today. You can check here.

We are also registering for the Challenge President's Day Invitational on 2/15-16. So please keep that weekend open.

Lastly, Sunday 2/23, at 2:00 we will be playing Texas Rush.

More bad news.

In case you're checking here before you see the email, today's game in Dallas has been cancelled due to weather. 

It's about to get really nasty out on the roads, so we are packing up to leave now. 

Drive safe! See you next week.
