October - Week 4

Triumph Update

What a fun day of soccer! Despite the rain, very player on the team scored a goal and everyone had a blast! I'm so impressed with how far the girls have come this year!

I want to thank Aaron Parman for getting the girls started this morning and the Parman family for bringing the snack. Everyone has done a great job with the snacks this year and I know the girls appreciate it! I also want to thank Angie Cahill for planning our end of year party and Jean Leary for ordering our trophies.

Next weeks game is at 11am on field 6. We are the home team so we'll be wearing white for this game. We won't have a snack for the last game because we'll be getting together after the game for our end or year party. We're all meeting at Burgerville in Camas at 12:30pm (next Saturday after our last game).

Please send me ALL of the pictures you've taken this year of the girls. I know there are some that haven't been sent because they were single pictures of your own daughter. I need them for our end of year slide show that I'll be putting together this week (if I have enough pictures)! If you've taken pictures with a camera that's not digital, I have a scanner.

Trophies - we should know how much the trophies are going to cost this week. My guess is that it will be about $5 each. I'll send out an email to everyone and let you know so we can have everyone chip in.

One last thing - there were some umbrellas switched at the game by accident. Please check your umbrella and  if you have the wrong one, please bring it to the game next Saturday and exchange it for the right one. I think there were two blue umbrellas that got mixed up today.

Thanks,

October - Week 2

Triumph Update
Our game tomorrow is scheduled for 11am on Field 6. Please have your daughter bring her own ball to warm up with.

The snack will be provided by the Leary family this week.

This week we worked on moving off of the ball and better postiioning to receive a pass. We also worked on defense and defending the area around the goal. We then had a couple of scrimages on Wednesday with a group of 6 year old boys and then the 5 year old girls that handled us pretty well a couple weeks ago. Our girls played REALLY hard and did very well against both of these teams and pretty much dominated the whole time. They did a great job of practicing the things we learned on Tuesday and I really feel that they're ready for tomorrow's game! Great job Girls!

Please let me know if your daughter isn't going to make practice. We only had three girls on Tuesday and the same number for most of Wednesday's practice. It's really hard to practice with only three girls. If the level of interest drops, we may go back to one practice a week. I know 5:30pm is a tough time for all of us but if we still want to have these practices, we need to have everyone there if possible.

Next week is our week for a double header. We have a game at 9am and another at 11am. We're going to have some tired girls by the second game so I hope everyone can make it.

Thanks everyone - we'll see you tomorrow morning at 11am! :-)

September 23, 2010

I am so proud of the girls! We worked on a few different things this week but really focused on kicking the ball and getting some power behind it. The girls have been very receptive and they really made a lot of progress. We'll continue to work on this and we'll probably work on some of the more technical things this coming week, such as throw-ins and self placement, off the ball, on offence and defense. 

Ice Cream Cones - I promised the girls ice cream cones. If it's okay with everyone, I want to shave 15 minutes off of one of our upcoming practices for a quick run  to Top Burger for ice cream. I'll follow up with you on that.

Game Time - our game this week is at 9am on field #6. The Allen family is in charge of the snack for this Saturday.

Pictures - I see lots of pictures being taken but I haven't received many. Please keep forwarding pictures to me. I'd like to post some on the blog and start a collection for the end of year slideshow.

One of the girls on our team is allergic to nuts. Please consider this when buying snacks for the team. We'd also like to keep the snacks somewhat healthy if possible. 

Shawn Cahill - thank you for your continued help with the team. Shawn stepped in on Tuesday while I was resting after a sleepless night at the hospital with my son. 

Thanks for your help and support!
