Monday...school/practice.

Girls, don't be alarmed if you don't see me in school on Monday...planned absence. Kalina, if you need to borrow a jersey (like we talked about), just go to my room, look under the long table/shelf towards the back corner of the room, and take any gold jersey out of that gray bin that you want for school on Tuesday. Just be sure to return it!

We'll meet for practice OUTSIDE at 3 PM...VERY important practice since it's our last practice before our first game. We'll run through our official game warm-up and (among other things) scrimmage with girls in predicted game positions. Make sure you look over our "set play" sheet that was handed out on Friday!

See you soon, girls. Enjoy the weekend...GO STATE!

Quad Tourney at Coopersville...

...is on Saturday, March 28. We will play our first game at 2:50 PM vs. Kenowa Hills. If we win, we play at 5:10 PM in the championship match. If we lose, we play at 4 PM in the 3rd place match. Please see the tourney bracket for further details. Players will ride the bus to Coopersville but will NOT have bus transportation home that day. Please make driving arrangements accordingly.

JV Team Pictures...

...are on Friday, March 20 at 3:45 PM (outside). Please bring your picture order forms, $$, and full home uniforms (gold, black, black).

Congrats, Captains-elect!

As a result of team voting today, sophomores Shelby Reaume and Kassi Aalderink were elected team captains for the 2009 JV girls soccer season. Congrats, girls! As for the rest of the team, keep striving for that rotating captain spot!

CONFIDENCE Part 2...

...which bird will you listen to?! Celebrate even the small successes....

CONFIDENCE....

...is consistently trusting that you can handle all the challenges that come with soccer. Be fearless, girls! As long as you are constantly doing something to improve yourself DAILY on the field and off, you're golden. Celebrate even the small successes! Another good training session today...don't let the focus wane, though...even with the simple drills...everything at game speed...play fast and be confident!
