Take a look at the SCL schedule and the NPL schedule. The links are on the right hand side of the home page of the blog. We've had a few games move around. I mentioned some of them in yesterday's email. Please check both schedules just so you're up to speed on all the upcoming games.
The SCL schedule doesn't reflect it yet, but I am almost certain the 10/4 game is moving to the evening of 10/2 at Dad's Club in Clear Lake.

This Saturday (9/27) we play Texas Rush at Burroughs #6 at 2:00 PM. We will wear WHITE. On Sunday, we have an NPL game against Eclipse. This game is in Alvin at the Ron Carter complex, field #2 at 11:00 am. Let's wear NAVY, but bring everything to both games.

Our game against Challenge got reschedule for October 26. That's the day after our game in San Antonio. It's at 2:00 though, so hopefully the girls can sleep in and fully recover.

Ok, Disney. Games start on December 31 and can go through January 3. I have a block of rooms at the same hotel. I'll be sending along an email with the link and the confirmation number to reserve your room(s) the same way we did last time. We have two weeks to make those reservations, then the rooms get released. Flights aren't cheap due to the timing around the holidays. I haven't seen a schedule yet, but be warned that the boys part of the tournament is December 26-30. So, if you want to add time to your trip, you'll have an easier time extending your hotel after the tournament. If you are planning on sending your daughter with another family or team, let me know how I can help. I think my whole family is coming, and we are happy to host any of your girls with us.

Tulsa. Take a look at that NPL schedule and you'll see the March 21-22 games in Tulsa. This is the second weekend of Spring Break for most of us. Flights will be expensive and will probably fill up early. Those of you traveling on spring break may want to consider flying into Tulsa from whatever awesome destination you were already at. I just wanted to give you a heads up as you may be making those plans.

SCL game and Disney in December

I think the girls are still buzzing from this weekend, and rightfully so. For those of you who couldn't make it, the girls really put on quite the performance. I continue to be impressed with their great athleticism and what impressive, intelligent, and fun young ladies they are. 

I had the unique pleasure of watching Mark coach and guide the girls first hand, and I can tell you we are lucky to have him. The girls know this too. 

As you know, our performance this last weekend earned us an invitation to the big event at Disney/ESPN WWOS. It is arguably the biggest college showcase event in the country. We have only a week to claim our spot and register for the tournament. From the conversations I have had about it with many of you, I'm assuming we want to go. The dates are December 31 - January 3. Same place. If you can't make it, or don't want to go, please let me know as soon as possible. If I don't hear from you, I'll assume you are on board. 

This weekend
We have our first SCL game this weekend. It's in Pflugerville (west side of Austin) at 1:00 PM against Lonestars Red South. Google maps says a little more than 2.5 hours from my house. If you're driving up that morning, plan accordingly and try to have fed your daughter before 11:00 on the way up, and at the fields around noon. Let's wear WHITE, but bring the whole kit. We are on field #5.

Last few things...if your daughter didn't get a medal this weekend, I have it and I will bring to practice today. Also, if you or your daughter saw the little flyer/brochure thing I put together and they want to make changes or edits, please email me or have them email me.
