Triumph Soccer 2013

Triumph Update

Last Week - It sounds like our game went really well last Saturday. Great job girls! A special thanks to Coach Shawn for coaching and for all the time he's put in to helping us out this year!

Next Saturday - Our game next Saturday (October 29th) is scheduled for 11:00am at Skyridge Middle School. We'll be the Home team so our uniforms will likely be White. This is going to be a fun game for us because we're playing the CW Blast and there are two girls, that played with us up to last year, on their team and they're both outstanding players. I'd like to have everyone at the field, ready to warm up, by 10:45am. It's going to be a chilly day so please dress the girls accordingly.

Practices - We've only got 2 practices left. I would assume everyone's anxious to have their Tuesday & Friday evenings back (I know I am) but if we can hold out through this last week, I'd really like to have all of the girls there. We're still practicing at 5:30pm to 6:45ish, if we have enough light.

End of Year Party - Our party will be at Angelo's Pizza this year and we'll be meeting there (this Saturday) at 2pm. The Coaches will be handing out trophies and pictures. Each family is in charge of their own meal.

Trophies - Jean Leary has already received the trophies from Glory Days. If you haven't already, please pay her $8 to cover the cost of your child's trophy. Thanks again to Jean for handling the trophies and end of year party. Jean - how many years in a row have you done this for us now??

Tournaments - I guess the tournaments are all U9 and up, which is disappointing, so we won't be playing in any tournaments in November.

Spring Soccer - There has, however, been some interest in Spring Soccer. In the past, we've played indoor soccer because it's nice and warm and dry inside. From what I'm hearing, the preference is to play Outdoor Soccer this year. As much as I enjoy warmth in the winter & springtime, I would have to agree that Outdoor Soccer would be better for the girls. The game is so different inside (the balls look and feel different, the ball roll and bounce differently, there are no boundaries, and the rules are extremely relaxed. It's almost like teaching the girls a whole new game when we return to the outdoors in the Fall. So...no guarantees yet, but I'm considering it. I know I keep saying that I'm about done coaching but I'm addicted, what can I say?? One determining factor is how many of the girls want to do it. Please let me know ASAP, if your daughter is interested and I'll start digging into dates, costs, etc..

Pictures - If you've taken pictures, please get them to me by Wednesday (this week). If I have enough pictures, I'll put together a slide show and I'll try to get some of them on our Blog. As far as our Team Pictures, I should have them to hand out at our party on Saturday, I hope! :-)

See you all tonight at practice!

Thanks,
Ben Yung
