Weekend Updates

Hi, girls. First, I hope you're already having a good, restful weekend! I hope you've been able to access this site with ease as well.

Multiple items:

**Check out the newly added items to the left regarding goals, rules, standards, etc. KEEP THESE TEAM-VOTED IDEAS ALWAYS IN MIND..ESPECIALLY AT THE START OF THIS SEASON! I've also added a link to our season schedule in case you lose your copy. To come in the near future, our official roster and game recaps...

**Next week's schedule...home game on Monday at 4 PM vs. Coopersville, practice on Tuesday outside, away game at Kenowa Hills at 5 PM on Wednesday, no practice Thursday or Friday for Spring Break.

**Monday reminders...we'll wear our full warm-ups to school for the day, we'll meet fully dressed and ready to go for the game at 3 PM outside on the game field (warm-up CD, captains?), and plan on staying for at least half of the varsity game to follow. Dress warmly! Sid and Megan V., be ready to "ball girl" for the varsity game.

**Congrats to Taylor for her "rotating captain" recognition yesterday...well done, GK! Also, a delayed "congrats" to Niki and Sid for their official captain recognition...much deserved. We can all be positive leaders though...right, girls?

**Our weekly theme next week will be COMMUNICATION: in other words, how can we ALL demonstrate a level of positive verbal and non-verbal communication...on and off the field. Communication is KEY...in ALL situations! On the field, it makes the game of soccer sooooo much easier. Let's demonstrate this first starting on Monday.

I'm looking forward to starting this season off with a bang next week. Think positively...visualize success...and be there for each other no matter the circumstances, girls! See you all on Monday.

Team Meeting

We'll be meeting in my classroom at 3 PM tomorrow (Tuesday) for our first official team meeting. Bring a pencil and indoor soccer gear since we will NOT be heading outside.

Also, bring ideas about team goals, team captains, team rules, and team standards we'd like to stand for all season long.

PS. We will have official team pictures at 5 PM this Thursday on the soccer field...more news to come.

Looking forward to a good week of soccer and team-building!
