Disney and more
As you have probably heard by now, Claire's concussion is keeping her from going to Disney. So I won't be making the trip either. :(
Here is the schedule for our bracket.
And here is just our schedule.
Keep in mind that there is a playoff on 1/3 at 1:00 for the top two teams in each bracket.
I'm sorry we won't be there. I hope you guys kick some butt!

On to other topics...
- I don't know when that final game for SRPL will be scheduled. I'm surprised the league has let it drag on this long.
- Vedad wants us to go to the Austin Texans Showcase event in Austin on February 3-5. I am planning on signing us up for this. Please let me know if you can't make it.
- We also need to make a quick decision regarding the Las Vegas showcase event over Spring Break on March 17-19. It is a very big event, on par with Disney. The deadline to register is this week. Please let me know ASAP if you can't make this one.

Fort Worth 11/13
Not sure what happened to my earlier attempt at a post. Lost in the cloud somewhere I guess...
Anyhoo. SRPL game in Fort Worth on Sunday 11/13 at 10:00 vs. West Side Alliance. Let's wear navy, but please bring everything.
Rolling Hills Soccer Complex
2909 Joe B. Rushing Rd.
Ft. Worth, TX 76119
Field 11
After this, we will have only one more SRPL game. If we win these, we will finish in 2nd place. That will get us invited to National League, and secure us a spot at the Regional Cup. Let's do it!
We have those NPL games next weekend (11/19-20) here at South Campus. 9:00am both days. I know we've been plagued with injuries. Keep me posted on your daughter's progress if you're questionable for those games.
You may or may not be a Trump fan, but this should be the girls inspiration as far as winning goes.

I'm sorry for the late game tomorrow. Hopefully we will score some karma points for letting them move the time. The weather should be nearly perfect, but cool. Probably a good idea to bring the warm up kit.

San Marcos video
This weekend wasn't our best showing, that's for sure. And unfortunately, these were the games we videoed. Hopefully there are some highlights in here. Have a look and copy them to your google drive or your PC if you want them - they'll only be up for a couple weeks.

Disney Travel and more
I've got some scoop on the Disney trip. But first, a reminder to encourage your daughter to work on her fitness and conditioning this weekend. They need to be able to play a full 90 minutes! The weather is perfect...a moderate jog with some sprints thrown in should be a minimum. By now, they should have an idea of what constitutes a good workout. If they need some suggestions or ideas on how to structure their self-guided training, email or text me.
On to Disney...
I have to admit, I hate this part of the manager job. Working with these travel agents is frustrating to say the least. They never secure enough rooms. Earlier this week and last there were literally no hotels in Orlando (through Anthony travel) that had ANY availability. Every Friday, they drop the rooms that teams haven't claimed and put them back in the pool. I called this Friday and after sitting on hold for 30 minutes, I got us all they had left - 8 rooms at the Courtyard South in Orlando.
I realize that we will likely need more than 8 rooms. I also know that many of us enjoyed the Hilton Bonnet Creek last time. Next Friday at 8:00, I'll be calling to secure us more rooms and hopefully move to a better spot.
In the meantime, we need to book these rooms. The good news is that if rooms open up at the Hilton (or somewhere else), then Anthony Travel can switch all of our reservations over in one shot. Go to this link and plug in your info to claim a room. It's the same system we've used with the Disney Event in the past.
Anthony Travel
Reservation Number: 3127343
Access Code: FA645B2A
If 8 isn't enough, and we fill all these up before you're able to claim a room, don't despair, I'll get us more rooms next Friday.
A big thanks to Kerry for helping coordinate all of this.
Next weekend we have games in San Marcos on Saturday at 4:00pm and Sunday at noon. I haven't set up any hotel arrangements for that.

SRPL - Sept 10-11
Games this weekend:
We have two SRPL games this weekend in San Marcos. The games will be played at Five Mile Dam Park.
D’Feeters Thanksgiving Showcase
Mark your calendars. November 25-27 in the Dallas area. Hotel info coming soon.
Disney ESPN Showcase
Mark your calendars for this one too! December 31 – January 3 in Orlando. We had such a good experience with that Hilton, I think I’ll get us a block of rooms there. But there will be other options too. Stay tuned.

Lots to report - Please read
I've got quite a few things to share with you.
1. We have NPL games this weekend. I'm sorry for the late notice. I didn't realize these were happening so soon. It looks like both games are at 5:30pm at McGovern. You can see the NPL schedule here. Please let me know if you CAN'T make these games.
2. In September, we should be moving to our normal training schedule. This means T-Th are our dedicated training times. We will have a speed/agility/strength/conditioning session as well. And then the girls are always welcome to train with the 00's on the M-W sessions. (Just as they have the option to train with us on T-Th).
3. Our SRPL schedule is still a little bit of a mess. Right now it shows us with no games over Labor Day Weekend, and unassigned games the weekend after that. Supposedly there will be an update later tonight. I'm not sure what will happen to the game from Saturday that got rained out.
4. Since we don't have anything scheduled for Labor Day now, I'm seeing if I can squeeze us in to the Plano tournament. So, tentatively keep that open if you can. I'll let you know as soon as I hear something.
5. On training and weather - Vedad really hates missing practices because of rain. We've been using the Strake facility, and sometimes Adrian reserves the courts at The Zone for futsal. So even in foul weather, plan on some type of training. However, there is a cost associated with this. The Strake fields and The Zone aren't free, but we share the costs with the 00s or in last week's case the DA boys. Depending on how many times we get rained out, this will add to our team's expenses. It's something like $8-10/player/session. If you have any objections, let me know.

6. Vedad would like to have a brief team meeting after the game on Sunday, so please plan on staying a little after.
