Weekend Update

Hey, girls. I hope you're enjoying your weekend. I know you are since you're all still excited about the big MSU win last night!! Or maybe that's just me....

Anyway, a few updates/reminders are below:

1.) On Monday, we will wear BLACK jerseys in school. We will wear black socks and game shorts in the game. Be sure to have the proper cleats and official shin guards for the game!

2.) Our bus leaves promptly at 3:30 on Monday after school and NOT right after school. Coach Malefyt changed the bus schedule at the last minute since OUR game doesn't start until 5 P.M.

3.) Check out the newly updated "2010 JV Girls Roster" link below and to the left. Also, I will provide "game recaps" after each game in order to commemorate the official matches during our season. You can see that link below as well.

4.) Please provide some simple, HEALTHY snacks and drinks to share with the rest of the team for the bus ride to Coopersville on Monday. Mrs. Kooiker will provide snacks on Wednesday and Frannie will take care of beverages that day as well. Thanks ahead of time to both!

5.) IMPORTANT: please continue to look over your "set plays" diagram sheet and "player position roles" packet that I distributed to you last week in order to sufficiently prepare yourselves for our games next week! Also, continue to look over the "player evaluation" forms in order to get to know your teammates on a higher level. I may be asking some more "trivia" questions in the near future...hint hint!

That's it for now...please feel free to contact me with questions and/or concerns. It's game time on Monday! Excited? I am...let's start the season on the right note and keep in mind our TEAM GOALS and WHAT WE WANT TO STAND FOR on a daily basis.

Take care, girls!

ANOTHER Game Change...

We've now got a home game on Wed., May 5 vs. Belding at 4 P.M. Mark it down!

TEAM goals, rules, and more...

Let's represent these ideas each and every day in subtle and more obvious ways!

GAME CHANGE...

Our JV home game for next Wednesday, March 31 has been changed:

Players/Parents, can we arrange away game snacks/beverages for that day as well?!

Please let me know.

Good, productive practice today...please remember the "positives" and the "negatives" that were mentioned from MY perspective. Let's keep improving!

Sunday UPDATE...

Girls, as my heart is still racing after the absolute crazy end to the MSU game, I just wanted to clarify something for tomorrow's practice.

In light of the improved weather, we will DEFINITELY practice outside. Be dressed and ready to warm up by 3 PM out near the bleachers.

Hope you had a good weekend!

Go State!
