Picture Day 2009

Hey Bulldogs!

We have a crazy week ahead of us!

This Saturday (March 8th) is PICTURE DAY! We need to meet by the playground at Five Star no later than 1:10 PM in full uniform. The boys will be taking individual shots and then a team shot. I have order forms if you have not received one yet. Ask me at practice tomorrow night for the booklet. Then, at 2:30 PM we will have our soccer game. We do have a gap in time between pictures and the game. Stay close. We will probably do some warm ups and drills to keep the boys occupied. Since our game is the last game and we are the "Home" team, Angela and I will need your help picking up the flags and goals at the end of our game and putting them in the storage room by the concession stands.

The game that we had scheduled on April 4th has been moved to THIS Tuesday (March 10th) at 7:15 PM at Five Star. We are the "Home" team for this game as well and the last game for the night, so Angela and I will need your help picking up the flags and goals again. (We believe these are the only two games we will have to worry about the equipment).

We will then have practice on Thursday, March 12th (time TBD) to work on skills and drills from the previous games and then our game on Saturday, March 14th at 1:30 PM. Please be at the field around 1 PM. So far, each game has started 10 minutes early with equipment checks and referee routines and we would like the boys to be warmed up before we throw them on the field.

There will be NO GAME on Saturday, March 21st.

We believe we will continue the two days a week practice. Over half of the teams in U5 practice twice a week and the boys played better at their game after the two days a week practices, which leads us to believe it works. Please let us know if you oppose this idea of two practices a week. Angela and I have also tossed the idea around of every other week being the two week practice. We are open to suggestions. Thanks to Coach Ryan for obtaining access to the indoor field at the high school on Thursdays.

We hope each of the boys enjoyed their "Bulldog Award" stickers and we hope we can continue giving out more than just one color a game!!

Call me or Angela if you have any questions or concerns!

Have a great day!!
