Triumph Update

We had a good practice last Thursday! This was our second practice but the first with almost everyone there. I really like our group of girls! It's a different dynamic than in previous years. I think our experience level has decreased somewhat but I really like who we have. I don't think I've ever had a more wiggly, giggly group of girls. We'll try to somewhat control that but I'm sooo glad the girls have such a positive attitude and, most importantly, that we're having fun together!

This Week - NO PRACTICE THIS WEEK! Because many of the girls have "Back to School Night", we are canceling practice. Please have the girls practice on their own, so we can pick things back up next Thursday.

Future Practices - I keep getting asked if we're going to keep practicing on Thursday evenings at Danielson Field, at 6:15pm. This practice is pretty much set in stone and will not likely change. We will also be picking up a Wednesday evening practice starting on September 11th. This practice will be held at the fields behind the Doc Harris Stadium (where we've practiced when the girls were younger) and will be held at 6:30pm. Here's our regular practice schedule going forward:
  • Wednesdays 6:30 to 7:45pm @ Doc Harris fields in Camas (beginning September 11th)
  • Thursdays 6:15 to 7:30pm at Danielson Field (Washougal)

Please confirm that you've received this email and let me know if you have any questions or concerns. My priority is to make sure all the girls are learning the game of soccer, learning to problem solve and work as a team, learning leadership, and most importantly, that they're having a great time!

Thanks so much for your support and for allowing me the pleasure of coaching your wonderful kids!

Triumph Update


Parents,


Practices - we will have our regular Thursday practice this week at 6:15pm (at Danielson Field in Washougal). I am also considering a practice for next Saturday, because we've got our first game in a couple weeks and we haven't even had a good, well attended practice yet. We've had some Saturday practices in the past and they seemed to work out really well for everyone. Perhaps even better than practicing during the week, in the evening.


Beginning September 11th, we'll start practicing on Wednesdays, in addition to our Thursday practices. I've got Danielson Field reserved for that day as well but I'm hoping to find an available field in Camas to practice at, for those that live on the West side. No guarantees, but that's what I'm shooting for. FYI...we're not practicing on Wednesdays until the 11th because I'm working on my Coaching Certification. I figured it's about time I got that, since I've been coaching for 6 years now. :-)


Fall Prep Camp - If you haven't signed up for the Fall Prep Camp, it starts tomorrow morning at 9am. If you still need to register, please do so ASAP. Here's a link to the flyer:  https://camaswashougal.korrio.com/files/2013/08/Fall-Season-Rec-Prep-Camp-2.pdf


By the way, our first regular season game will be on September 7th. I'll get the schedule posted as soon as I receive it.

Thanks Everyone,
