Oklahoma and San Antonio
Oklahoma!
As you know, we play Saturday at 2:00PM at the Edmond Soccer Complex. We are on field 16. For that game, let’s wear GREEN/WHITE.
Sunday morning we play again on field 18 at 8:00AM. Wear NAVY.
The Edmond Complex is at:
And the field map is like this.
I don’t get in until 10:15 Saturday morning. If anyone needs help with logistics or a ride or whatever, please call.
If you’re curious about what this weekend is all about, read this (we are in 3rd place in group A):
The West Playoffs are Saturday and Sunday October 17 & 18 in Edmond (girls) and San Marcos (boys).The schedules with seeds (I am verifying and finishing up seeds at every age bracket now that all games completed this weekend-all will be listed today) that are known at this time are posted on the SRPL web site (http://regioniii.usyouthsoccer.org/premier_league/schedules_and_standings/ ).
Teams from Group A will play teams from Group B. To determine the final placement, the two games in the Playoff and the game with the team from your group will be counted-thus 9 points available (3 for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss). For example-Places 1-4 will be determined by this scenario: Group A #1 plays Group B #2 and #1 on 10/17 & 18; Group A # 2 plays Group B #1 and #2 on 10/17&18. The points earned from these matches will be added to the points that Group A #1 and Group A #2 earned in their regular season match and the points earned in the regular season match between Group B #1 and Group B #2. If there are teams with the same number of points, after the weekend, ties will be broken using the tie breaking procedures listed in the rules, also available on the SRPL web site (http://regioniii.usyouthsoccer.org/premier_league/schedules_and_standings/ ).
Teams seeded 1 and 2 in their group are playing for places 1-4 in the overall West SRPL; teams seeded 3 & 4 in their group are playing for places 5-8; teams seeded 5 & 6 in their group are playing for places 9-12 and teams seeded 7 & 8 in their group are playing for places 13-16.
Places will be used for seeding and placement in next year's SRPL format and to determine 2 Southern Regional Championship spots and qualifying for the 2016-17 US Youth Soccer National League.
Good luck in the Playoffs!
For those teams not participating in the West Playoffs, thanks for your participation in the SRPL this season!
Next weekend we will be in San Antonio again for USC games. 5:00PM on Saturday (although this may change to earlier) and 1:00PM on Sunday.
I have a block of rooms reserved at:
Comfort Suites North San Antonio - Stone Oak
1754 N. Loop 1604 E.
(210)495-5557 / fax (210) 495-5559
You should be able to call and claim one of the rooms for $95/night. It’s reasonably close to the fields and close to a lot of restaurants and stuff too. It’s not necessary to stay at this hotel. Feel free to make other arrangements if you like.

October 11 in San Antonio
This weekend's game is in San Antonio at McAllister Park #2 against Classics Elite.
The fields are here:
Our game is at 11:00 am. We should wear our green kit (but bring navy). It's a bit of a drive, so make sure you leave early enough to allow a little extra time to stretch the legs and get warmed up. Also, I know some of the girls have issues with late morning games and nutrition, so be thinking about that too.
Don't forget, next weekend is Oklahoma, and then back to San Antonio for 2 games weekend after that.

Travel updates. Important stuff inside!
In case you missed the email, see below. Be sure to read the updates at the bottom.
After adding everything up, team expenses work out to $675 per player for the fall. This includes all of our USC fees, NPL fees, SRPL fees, referee fees, CASL tournament, and Mark’s travel expenses. There’s a little cushion baked in, and anything we have left over will be applied to the Spring season. I don’t think our expenses in the Spring will be as high, but we will at least have the Vegas tournament, so don’t forget about that.
If you need to pay in installments, that’s ok. Please make checks payable to:
Houston Express 00G Navy
and get them to Kerry Schachter at:
This coming weekend we will have a USC game on Saturday against Space City. It’s 2:00 at Zube.
On October 11, we have another USC game in San Antonio against Classics Elite 00G. It’s 11:00 am on Sunday.
Then for the October 17-18 weekend, we will be going to Norman Edmund, Oklahoma (just southnorth of Oklahoma City), for the SRPL West tournament.
A reasonable person could conclude that we are the “16GA3” team, and that would mean games at 2:00 PM on Saturday and 8:00 AM on Sunday. I’m not sure I would trust that just yet though. Check that link for updates.
I’m working on hotels for Norman. Stay tuned.
October 24-25 we will be back in San Antonio for two games.
Last, but not least is CASL. Most of you have seen the GroupMe chatter. Schedules won’t be posted until November 11. Registration is Thursday night, and games start at 8:00 AM on Friday morning. We will need to be there Thursday and plan on staying through most of Sunday. I’m working on hotels here too. We have to book our hotel through the tournament’s travel agent. Hopefully, I’ll have a link to do that tomorrow.
UPDATE!
The hotel for our Oklahoma trip is going to be the Courtyard Oklahoma City Northwest. We have a block of rooms reserved, but will only have until October 5th to claim them. I will update here with a link and phone number to do this. I’ll send a note on the GroupMe too. (They haven’t processed the contract yet.)
For CASL, I know how these trips can add up, so I have two different options. The first is the Raleigh Marriot City Center @ $149/night. The second is the Microtel Raleigh @ $55/night. They are near downtown, and not too far from each other, and not too far from the fields.
This works just like we did with the Disney event. Click this link:
https://blackbird.anthonytravel.com/customerside/ChangeRequest_Home.cfm
Login with this info:
Reservation Number: 2674529
Access Code: NT850L2W
Click “Update Info”
Then you can claim a room and submit your credit card info.
Here’s the important part… Rooms #1-#15 on this page are at the Marriot, and Rooms #16-#20 are at the Microtel. So make sure you book the one you want. If we run out of rooms for one or the other, I can most likely get us more. We have 72 hours to book these rooms, and then they will be released.

Lafayette
Sorry for the late post, I've been traveling and swamped.
We have our Lafayette games this weekend. It looks like Saturday's game got moved to 7:00 pm. That will certainly make the drive a little less stressful.
Both games are Moore Park.
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Sonny+Roy+Ln,+Lafayette,+LA+70507/@30.2640134,-92.036824,17z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x86249bbcbc95efed:0x75674c70fc4f69ce?hl=en
http://lysasoccer.com/docs/Moore%20Park%202015.pdf
Saturday we play NYSA Fury at 7:00 pm on field #3. Wear white/green.
Sunday we play Baton Rouge at 11:45 am on field #20. Wear navy.
Unfortunately Claire and I won't be making the trip. Her concussion has proved to be a little worse than we originally thought. Hopefully she'll be able to practice some next week.
Also, keep your eyes peeled for an email about team expenses. I should have done this much earlier. The team owes Mark some reimbursements, so hopefully we can knock this out quickly. When I get back home I'll put together the final estimates and let you know.

September 20 USC game
We have a game this Sunday at 2:00 PM at Katy Park (14) against Challenge. We will wear NAVY. Please be there by 1:15.
Note: I will not be at this game (well, I may be, but I'll be there late). If someone has a tent that would be helpful.
Also, stay tuned for some reschedules and changes from what is posted to the usctx.org site. Our Sunday Lafayette game got pushed to a slightly later time, it's now at 11:30.
I still haven't seen CASL schedules yet, but expect to play Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
