WEEK NUMBER ONE!!! Luckily, lightning did not clear the fields on Saturday morning.
It was strange seeing youth struggling for their wind out there. Many of you are out of shape. Can't wait to see you all back in shape by the end of September.
Everything went according to plan, the nets were set up before 9, played 10v10, lots of playing time for everyone, high scoring affairs, great passes, great shots and the beginning of excellent camaraderie. It was fun getting some of you out from last year, but also fantastic to see new faces. I had some from last year saying they missed people from last year, but even by the end of the fall season, I suspect you will have that same feeling about this group.
A few things went awry. The long grass, Jordyn's ankle, the Wixom lost ball and that lame ref in Game #2, Field #2 in the bandana without a whistle. I think I missed a few calls because I get watching the game as a coach and forget I changed roles.
Thank you's to the coaches and referees on Saturday, Cathy, Dan and Cassie, Emilio, Barange, Gary Peterson, Mike Remy, Kevin Zollinger and a new ref that i think reffed with Mike. I need to learn his name.
HELP is needed though. On the referee front. We can arrange some training, but I suspect there are many of you as parents that know the game. If you go through the referee course, you will get a cool ref jersey and a whistle. Even if you don't, I think we can track you down a whistle at least. Some good referees add that structure and competitiveness the kids enjoy.
Practice on Monday and Friday this week. No games this Saturday.
