Triumph Update

I hope everyone's having an outstanding week! 

Excellent game last Saturday! We played the Thunderbolts, a team that has beat us three times in a row over the last two years. Of course, we don't really keep score, right? :-) Congratulations to the Girls for playing so hard! I thought everyone played well and Jade did an amazing job as Keeper. I think this was her break-out game!

Sorry about the late cancelation on last Tuesday's practice. I thought we were going to be okay but when I checked the field it was extremely wet and mushy. And, on top of that, it was currently raining and getting worse. I'm sure the girls weren't too happy about the cancelation but I think it was probably a different story with the parents!
Our game this Saturday is at 9am on field 6D at the Harmony Sports Complex. We'll be the visiting team so we should be wearing our blue uniforms but please bring both colors. VUSA doesn't always do things the way we do in Camas-Washougal.

I know I've said this before but I want to say it again. We have a special group of girls and coaches! We have such a good time out there practicing and the games are a blast! I hope your daughter is having as much fun as Christina and me! It's very important to us that your daughter is having the best time possible. If you ever want to talk about anything, or if you don't feel I'm giving equal playing time to the girls, please feel free to come talk to me. 

Believe it or not, Fall Soccer Registration begins in two weeks and I need to get a headcount on how many of the girls will be continuing with the Triumph. We've got a few girls that aren't playing Spring ball, that would love to return and play with us in the Fall again but I need to know how many are staying first. Please let me know ASAP.

Thanks,

  Triumph Update

I hope everyone had an amazing Easter Holiday & Spring Break! It's time to pick the soccer balls back up again and start practicing tomorrow (Tuesday, April 10th). I'm so excited that we're into warmer weather now. I'm not one to complain but those first two weeks of the season were brutal! Kudos to the girls for hanging in there!

I'm hoping to have all of the girls at this practice for a couple reasons. First, we still haven't had a practice with all of the girls there yet. It really helps to have all of the players there so we can practice as a team. Second, I'm planning on getting some team pictures tomorrow.

A few things:
  • Please have the girls dressed in their white uniforms tomorrow. Since we're not doing an official team picture, these pictures are the best we'll get. Please also let me know, ASAP if there's anyone that can't make tomorrow's practice. if we have to put pictures off until next week, we can do that.
  • Pictures - I always encourage parents to take pictures of the games and practices, and email them to me, so we can post them on our Triumph Soccer Blog. It is also really difficult for me to get pictures of Christina in action. If you happen to get a good picture of her, please share. :-)
  • Snack - Has everyone received a copy of the snack schedule? If not, I've posted a copy to the link section of our blog. Please, again, remember to bring a somewhat healthy snack and nothing with nuts.
  • Coaching - I would like to thank Cahills, the Parmans and the Allens for helping with coaching at the practices, games, etc. I enjoy the interaction with the parents as much as with the kids and I always welcome the help.

Thanks,
