This week and Disney

What a weekend! Blazing heat and two very different games. It was nice to see what the girls are capable of on Sunday.

Tonight, we are doing a "regen" session with Roz instead of the usual speed and agility. The focus will be on stretching and recovery. There's a few nagging injuries on the team, and I'm sure they're tired from this weekend - hopefully this will help get them ready for our trip this weekend. Have your daughter bring her foam roller and alpha ball tonight. Futsal to follow after the session with Roz. 


Also, spectators (that's you) will have to pay for admission into the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. Be aware that tickets are $16.50 per day or $33 for the whole tournament. 

Later this week, I'll send out a draft version of the marketing brochure with player bio's.

I hope you enjoyed the get together on Saturday. I thought Mark did a great job explaining where the girls are and what to expect. I think we are lucky to have Mark as our trainer. Also, a big thanks to the Kallmeyers. Those beers hit the spot for me. 

Jeff Borchers found this and suggested I send it out to the team. I think it's a very good read and echoes much of what Mark said on Saturday. Please take the time to look at it and share with your daughter. 


One last thing. Once we get back from Orlando, don't get too comfy, we will be back on the road again for our first game of SCL play. Playing Lonestar in Austin on that next Saturday at 1:00.

Texas Rush Cup - August 16 and 17

This weekend we will have our first test, playing in the Texas Rush Cup.

Here is a link to our schedule. 

Unfortunately, it is a little on the early side, and it's a heck of a drive for most of us.
We play at 7:30AM and 1:30PM on Saturday, and again at 7:30 on Sunday. The final is at 1:30 on Sunday.

All of our games are at Woodlands High School. 
6101 Research Forest Dr.

Y'all know the drill: bring both kits, arrive at least 45 min early, and show up believing we will win.

Saturday 7:30 at WHS #1. Wear WHITE.
Saturday 1:30 at WHS #1. Wear NAVY.
Sunday 7:30 at WHS #2. Wear NAVY.

Remind the girls to watch this.

It's a new season!

Are you ready?

This week kicks off our training, with a tournament next weekend and our Disney trip at the end of the month. 

Mondays will be Futsal from 8:30-9:30. 
Tuesday and Thursdays will be at SC 3 from 8:10-9:30. 

Mark wants to have speed and agility training twice a week now. So that would be a 7:30 start on Tuesday and Thursday. Let's make that an 8:00 start for Monday and a 7:30 start for Thursday.  There's obviously an incremental cost for this. The girls are mature enough now to handle the extra work load, and it should make a difference in fitness and injury prevention. We are still hammering out the details on speed and agility. I'll update you before Tuesday. 

I'll let you know as soon as I see the Rush Cup schedule. Our SCL schedule should be available sometime this week. 

Let me know if I can help with anything.
