Next Week and Beyond

Hello, girls soccer fam! Hope the sun and mild temps are treating everyone well??

Our first game week is upon us (BEAT T.K.!!!), and I couldn't be more excited. :)

Here is the tentative schedule for this abbreviated week coming up here...and beyond:

Homework for the weekend: 1.) memorize/know/understand all "offensive/defensive team agreements" from the previously shared "Hamilton Soccer" document and 2.) view/learn/reflect upon vid footage via hudl of our first opponent T.K. coming up here next Wednesday.

**Monday: outdoor practice 3-5 PM (wear gray)...CHECK UPDATED "SOCCER RESPONSIBILITIES" DOCUMENT REGARDING YOUR RESPECTIVE DUTIES PRE- AND POST-PRACTICE.
**Tuesday: outdoor practice 3-5 PM (wear black)...REQUIRED TEAM DINNER AT THE ROBINSONS' AT 5:30 PM.
**Wednesday: away game vs. T.K. (WIN!)  Meet in my classroom by 3 PM...what to wear in school TBD...Noelle = team meal (to be consumed at the game site)...bus leaves at 3:30 P.M.
**Thursday/Friday: NO PRACTICE...HAPPY SPRING BREAK!

**Thursday/Friday of Spring Break week: OPTIONAL 230-4 PM practice at the HS.
 
Note 1: when in charge of the "team meal", please simply provide a light food/beverage for a total of 16 teenage girls. Healthy food/beverage recommendations include (but not limited to) the following: sandwiches/wraps/subs, fruit, veggies, water, gatorade/powerade, pretzels, granola bars, healthy crackers, healthy snacks, etc. For home games, we'd need the meal ready by 3 PM in my room 111 classroom in the HS. For away games, we'd need the meal somehow packaged and ready to load on the bus upon departure time as we will enjoy the meal shortly after arriving on site. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP IN PROVIDING THE GIRLS WITH A HEALTHY PRE-GAME MEAL THAT WILL HELP US ACHIEVE SUCCESS IN THE SUBSEQUENT MATCH!

Note 2: congrats again to Melinda and Dani for being selected by their peers recently as permanent team captains for the season. Thumbs up!

Take care, all, and let me know if you need anything at all.

Opening Week/Weekend and Beyond!

  Hey, all!

Off to a great start here, and I couldn't be more excited. Already great working with you!

The 0-0 tie vs. GR Cath. Central and 3-0 win vs. Cheboygan were positive results for us yesterday, all things considering what with lack of practice time early on here!

And we keep moving forward....:)

Tentative schedule for this coming week:

**Monday: practice 3-5 PM (wear black)...parent meeting at 5:15 in the forum room...$30 due.
**Tuesday: volunteer event/team-building 3-5 PM (wear gray and close toed shoes)...bus to Holland Rescue Mission Restoration Center.
**Wednesday: practice 3-5 PM (wear black)
**Thursday: practice 3-5 PM (wear gray)...team pictures (wear white)
**Friday: practice 3-5 PM (wear black)...celebrate Summer's B-day! :)

Note: Next Tuesday, March 29, the Robinsons will host a required team dinner at our house just after practice that day. We will eat, drink, laugh, and be merry on the eve of our first game of the season!

That's it for now, all! Take care!
